According to the new schedule, list of candidates will be published at 2 pm on Friday.
Changes and claims against the candidates can be made from 3 pm to 5 pm on the same day, according to Coordinator of the Election Committee Radhe Shayam Adhikari.
The final list of candidates will be published at 7 pm on Friday.
No further changes have been made in the election schedule.
As per the schedule, voting for the new leadership will be held from 8 am to 4 pm on Sunday at Rastriya Sabha Griha.
Meanwhile, aspirants for different post are collecting nomination letters at the party’s headquarters in Sanepa.
