Updated:1 week, 3 days ago

Kathmandu (Nepal), March 03 (ANI): Thousands of voters have begun leaving Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, to return to their home districts ahead of Thursday’s crucial elections in the Himalayan nation. Visuals from Koteshwor Bus Park show hundreds of people carrying luggage and boarding vehicles as the country enters the final phase of poll preparations. According to Traffic Police records, more than 300,000 people have already departed the capital by road to cast their votes. The number is expected to double as polling day approaches. The election comes six months after the nationwide Gen-Z protest. Campaigning has officially ended, and the mandatory two-day silence period is now in effect. Under the Election Code of Conduct, campaign materials within 300 metres of polling stations must be removed, and political promotion across social media, print and electronic platforms is prohibited. Authorities have also imposed restrictions on public gatherings, processions and crowd-creating activities 48 hours before voting to ensure a free and fair electoral process.
