Kathmandu, Feb 16: The political parties and the candidates of the House of Representatives (HoR) elections scheduled for March 5 are beginning their formal election campaigns from today as per the election code of conduct.
According to the Election Commission (EC), the candidates and political parties are allowed to organize rallies, mass meetings, corner assemblies and publish their election-related materials in the media outlets only from 15 days of the elections.
As per the same provision of the election code of conduct, the political parties and candidates could continue the publicity campaigns until March 1 midnight.
The EC has urged all stakeholders to conduct the election campaigns by fully upholding the integrity of elections.
Likewise, the EC has also mobilized different mechanisms for the implementation and monitoring of the election code of conduct.
In case of violation of the election code of conduct, the EC would seek clarification from the political parties and candidates, and would advance further legal actions.
However, the EC has made it clear that such a situation for action would not come since the code of conduct was formulated after a massive interaction with the political parties and stakeholders.
Similarly, Officiating Chief Election Commissioner Ram Prasad Bhandari said that the EC has taken the zero tolerance policy against the violation of the election code of conduct.
