“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.
