Pradhan withdraws candidacy for Election Commissioner amid controversy
KATHMANDU, July 29: Krishna Man Pradhan, nominated for the position of Election Commissioner, has withdrawn his nomination after facing strong opposition from the Parliamentary Hearing Committee. Pradhan submitted a formal withdrawal, citing the lack of support from Members of Parliament as a reason for his decision.
A meeting to discuss his nomination was initially scheduled for 11 AM, but was postponed to 5 PM after Pradhan's withdrawal request. The committee had received multiple complaints accusing Pradhan of sexual misconduct, which questioned Pradhan's suitability for the role. These allegations included a claim of sexual exploitation involving a court settlement and a payment check. The committee concluded that Pradhan did not meet the required criteria of ‘high moral character’ for the position.
