CPN UML chair KP Sharma Oli has said that election security is still not satisfactory ahead of the upcoming polls. He made the remark while speaking briefly to journalists at Chandragadhi Airport on Monday after arriving in Jhapa to file his nomination for the House of Representatives from Jhapa 5.
Election security is not satisfactory.
“Election security is not satisfactory,” Oli said in a short response. Jhapa 5 is considered his traditional stronghold. Hundreds of voters, party leaders, and supporters welcomed him at the airport, chanting slogans like “KP Ba, we love you.” Some supporters were also seen carrying the map of Greater Nepal in the airport area.
When asked by journalists about the possible candidacy of Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah from Jhapa 5, Oli chose not to comment. His silence has drawn political attention, especially as discussions about Balen’s possible entry into the race continue.
With both Oli and Balen visiting Jhapa on the same day, the political atmosphere in Jhapa 5 has intensified. The constituency is now being seen as a contest between established political leadership and an emerging alternative force.
