In a recent development in the local government, an appeal has been filed in the Supreme Court demanding the dismissal of over 36,000 elected representatives on party basis. This move has stirred controversy and raised questions about the electoral process.

The appeal, submitted by advocate Prakash Adhikari, challenges the legitimacy of the elected representatives in local government bodies. The petition specifically targets the offices of the Prime Minister, the Council of Ministers, the Election Commission, and the offices of commissioners.

This legal action has sparked discussions across the political spectrum, with some questioning the implications it may have on the functioning of the local bodies. Supporters of the appeal argue that it is necessary to ensure transparency and accountability in the electoral system.

Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his views on the matter, stating that while it is crucial to uphold the integrity of the electoral process, it is also important to consider the potential impact such actions may have on the stability of the local government. He emphasized the need for a balanced approach that respects the democratic principles while addressing any irregularities that may exist.
