Kathmandu — President Ram Chandra Paudel and Prime Minister Sushila Karki held a meeting at the President’s Office, Shital Niwas, to discuss current political issues, according to the President’s Secretariat.

The talks also covered preparations and security arrangements for the House of Representatives election scheduled for March 5 (Falgun 21).

The government is moving ahead with plans to resolve legal complications related to the election through an ordinance. The proposed ordinance will address matters such as reopening voter registration, ensuring voting rights for Nepalese living abroad, and political party registration.

Under the current Voter List Act, 2073 (2016), Section 4(2) states that once the election date is announced, no new voters can be added to the list. The government intends to amend this provision through the ordinance to allow for updates.
