The Maoists have selected Yubaraj Paudel to compete against Jhala Nath Khanal from Ilam-1, and Shambhu Shrestha will take on Khanal in Sarlahi-1. Against NC president Sushil Koirala, the Maoists have selected Chitra Bahadur Shresth in Chitwan-4, Maheshwar Gahatraj in Banke-1and Damodar Acharya in Banke-3.

In the previous CA poll, junior leaders Jhakku Prasad Subedi in Kathmandu-2 and Debendra Prasad Patel in Rautahat-6, both Maoists, had defeated Nepal.
The Maoists have not nominated their candidate to run against UML leader KP Oli from Jhapa -7. In the last CA poll, Bishwadeep Linden, a rebel Maoist candidate, had defeated Oli. Linden is now in the Ashok Rai-led Federal Socialist Party.
