RSP to contest in Ilam-2 by-election, no candidacy in Bajhang

KATHMANDU, March 11: The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has decided to file candidacy in Ilam-2 by election to be held on April 27.

However, the party has opted not to contest in the Bajhang constituency of Sudurpaschim province for the province assembly by-election.

This decision was made during a central committee meeting held on Monday.

“The central committee has decided to participate in the by-election in Ilam constituency-2. However, the party has decided not to participate in the by-election in Bajhang for the Sudurpaschim province assembly,” said Pratibha Rawal, the party’s deputy spokesperson.

The seat in Ilam-2 became vacant after the demise of CPN-UML leader Subas Chandra Nembang, a member of the National Assembly from the CPN-UML.

Similarly, Bajhang province assembly constituency number 1 was vacant following the death of lawmaker Prithvi Bahadur Singh in a road accident.

The by-elections in these two constituencies are scheduled to be held on April 27.
