Premières élections locales depuis 20 ans au Népal

First local elections in 20 years in Nepal
key stage in the country’s political stabilisation, results in Rapcha

After the promulgation of a new Constitution in Nepal in September 2015, local elections were finally held, after 20 years of turmoil, in May and June 2017, in all the country’s local authorities with three forces in attendance, the Congress party, the Marxist-Leninists and the Maoists.
According to our local Nepalese correspondents, voters in the new Rapcha/Basa municipality have nominated Tej Bahadur Magar, well known to our association as Asarman and head of the local association “Motherland Improvement Club” or MIC, as the representative of the section or Ward 2 located in Rapcha.

The elected mayor of the district would be Buddihikiran Rai from the village of Khastap. Both are members of the CPN-UML, a Marxist-Leninist party that has reportedly won local elections in many provinces.

The next elections for representatives at provincial level and in certain cities are scheduled for September 2017, and at national level for early 2018.

Honouring the newly elected representatives in Rapcha and the Dudhkoshi Rural Municipality!
The ANUVAM association, together with its Nepalese partner FEILSS, congratulates the newly elected representatives and hopes for open cooperation with these rural municipal assemblies for the development of all their inhabitants.
