Ishwar Pokhrel, former Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Chairman of the CPN-UML, gestures after filing his candidature to contest the House of Representatives election in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 20, 2026. The Election Commission establishes offices in all 165 constituencies across Nepal as the Himalayan nation moves towards the March 5 election to elect new members for its House of Representatives. Earlier, the Commission publishes the final list of candidates under the proportional representation system. Of the total 275 members of the House of Representatives, 110 are elected through the proportional system, while 165 are elected through the direct electoral system. An interim government, formed for election purposes following the Gen-Z protests on September 8 and 9, arranges the necessary resources for the polls. The process of selecting police personnel for election security has already begun. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
