Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Ayodhi Prasad Yadav has met CPN (Maoist Center) Pushpa Kamal Dahal and told him that
final results of House of Representatives (HoR) cannot be announced before formation of the National Assembly.
CEC Yadav during the meeting held a few days back said that final results of HoR cannot be formally announced before holding the election of National Assembly due to the constitutional provision requiring one-third female representation of each party in the federal parliament (HoR and National Assembly combined), according to sources close to Dahal. Dahal has already relayed CEC Yadav's position to leaders close to him.
Yadav had said
final results of House of Representatives (HoR) cannot be announced as the number of women the parties have to send for HoR through the proportional representation (PR) system cannot be determined before formation of the National Assembly even earlier.
Leaders of the left alliance have been demanding that the Election Commission (EC) should announce the final results of HoR and send that to the President's Office arguing that the National Assembly is not necessary to announce final results of HoR.
The EC is under pressure due to the stance of the left alliance.
