Nominations Of Election Commissioners

Issue 12, March 24, 2013

By KTM Metro Reporter

March 21, 2013: a meeting of the members of the ‘High-level Political Committee’ has recommended former Chief Election Commissioner Nilkantha Upreti to the vacant position of the Chief Election Commissioner, and former two commissioners such as Ayodhaya Prasad Yadav and Dolakh Bahadur Gurung to the vacant positions of the Election Commissioners at the Election Commission. Similarly, the High-level Political Committee has recommended the names of Mrs. Ila Sharma and Rambhakta PB Thakur to the Election Commissioners, according to the ‘gorkhapatra’ news of today.

Probably, a meeting of the Constitutional Council to be held today would appoint the personalities recommended by the ‘High-level Political Committee’ to the vacant positions of the Chief Election Commissioner, and other Election commissioners. Thus, the Election Commission would be soon able to work with its full strength.

The four-member Constitutional Council is presided over by the Chairman of the Interim Election Council Khil Raj Regmi. Chairman Regmi has appointed three ministers such as Riddhi Baba Pradhan, Madhav Prasad Ghimire, and Madhav Poudel to the vacant positions on the Constitutional Council. Chief Secretary to Interim Election Council acts as the secretary to the Constitutional Council. Now, it could work to appoint the recommended personalities to the Election Commission, and to other constitutional bodies.
