Battle of ballot in UML Gen Convention: Pictures from polling center

CHITWAN: As the main opposition CPN-UML failed to forge consensus on electing the new leadership unanimously, the election committee of the party is preparing to hold polls for some key central positions. 

The committee is preparing to publish the final list of candidates vying for various office bearer positions. 

Challenging the list of office bearers proposed by Chairman Olii, leaders including Bhim Rawal, Ghanashyam Bhusal, Bhim Acharya and Tanka Karki are contesting elections for various key positions. 

Earlier on Monday early morning, Oli tabled the names of 19 office bearers including his name as the party chairman.

He, however, has been challenged by Bhim Rawal. Rawal was elected party’s vice chairman in the Ninth General Convention.  

Here are some photos taken from the election booths at Hotel Seven Star in Sauraha of Chitwan.
