A convention of the Rastriya Swatantra Party in Gorkha's Sahid Lakhan Rural Municipality is facing dispute, with allegations of fraud and procedural violations during the election for chairman. Candidate Manoj Shrestha claims that individuals not even party members voted and that ballot boxes were moved for counting without candidate presence or minutes being prepared. Pushpakar Lamichhane was reportedly elected chairman.

  • Manoj Shrestha alleges that fake votes were cast and that a candidate was fraudulently created using two different surnames.
  • The dissenting faction claims that the voting and counting processes were rigged, with ballot boxes taken elsewhere for counting.
  • Out of 185 voters, 134 cast ballots, with Pushpakar Lamichhane securing 93 votes, Amrit Shrestha receiving 40, and Manoj Shrestha obtaining 2.
  • The Election Committee and party are accused of not following any bylaws or procedures, leading to demands for nullification of all processes.
