Nepali Congress demands re-election in Budhiganga of Bajura

KATHMANDU: The ruling Nepali Congress has demanded re-election in Budhiganga of Bajura a week after the completion of the local level elections.

Issuing a statement on Friday, Nepali Congress Chief Secretary Krishna Prasad Paudel accused the CPN-UML cadres of capturing booths in various polling stations of the municipality.

The Congress has requested the Election Commission to take action against those involved in capturing the booths and to make arrangements to hold re-voting in the polling station peacefully.
