Nepal’s agitating Madhesi parties have agreed to participate in the second phase of local-level elections to be held on Wednesday.
Home Minister Janardan Sharma said, Rastriya Janta Party Nepal, Madhesi party and Biplab-led Maoist party have fielded candidates for the polls.
He said, the government has made a foolproof security plan for conducting the second phase of local polls. Sharma said, like the first phase of local election, the second phase of polls will also become a success.
The third round of local-level elections is slated for September 18.
Meanwhile, the US has urged all political parties in Nepal to mutually respect the freedom of non-violent expression and assembly and individual’s voting rights as guaranteed by the Constitution.
The UK has also called on all stakeholders to create the necessary conditions to allow the people to exercise their right to vote peacefully
