Nepal General Election

A delegation from the Election Commission of India led by Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Sunday observed the general elections in Nepal and visited several polling stations.

Nepalis were voting on Sunday in a general election that few expect to bring drastic change - or a government able to quickly revive one of the slowest-growing economies in South Asia.

India's Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar on Friday reached Kathmandu as an international observer for Sunday's general elections in Nepal.

The India-Nepal border will be sealed for 72 hours before the November 20 general elections in the neighbouring country to prevent the movement of anti-social elements across the boundary, a senior official said Saturday.

India today gifted 200 vehicles to the Nepalese government for logistical support to various Nepali institutions for the smooth conduct of the November 20 general elections.

Nepal will take a decision on the recruitment of Gorkha soldiers in the Indian Army under the Agnipath scheme after the formation of the new government following the November 20 general elections, the country's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

Nepal President Bidya Devi Bhandari today dissolved parliament and fixed general elections in November.

Congress leader Hardik Patel, while taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's self-professed title of "chowkidar" today, ended up making a racist comment."I don't want a chowkidar, I want a Prime Minister. If I want a watchman I will go to Nepal," he said after voting in Viramgam in Gujarat in the third round of national elections.

Millions of people across 45 districts in Nepal on Thursday voted in the final phase of the general elections that will send representatives to the country's first bicameral legislature following the approval of the 2015 Constitution.

Nepal will hold a general election on November 26, the government said on Monday, hoping to conclude a turbulent journey to democracy a decade after a civil war and the abolition of its 239-year-old monarchy.
