Only 55 voters remain in Himali Rural Municipality-3

Dhangadhi: There are 55 voters in the polling station in Bajura's Himali Rural Municipality 3 Gumba. There were 60 voters here in the local elections held last May. Navaraj Awasthi, head of the district election office in Bajura, informed that after removing the names of five people who died, 55 people are remaining.

There are 70 polling stations and 112 polling stations in the Bajura district. According to District Election Office Bajura, the lowest number of voters in Bajura is 55 in the polling station of Gumba village. A polling station has been set up at Himal Bhakti Basic School in Gumba village. A polling station was established in the 2074 local elections in this village, which is the most distressed in Bajura.

Before the first phase of the local elections in 2074, after the news that the villagers of Gumba were forced to stay to vote, the Election Commission established a polling station at Himal Bhakti Basic School in Gumba village. Until the local elections of 2074, it was compulsory to go to vote in Ward No. 3 Boudi. It took three days to go back and forth between Gumba village and Baudi. People used to live on the road and go back and forth to vote. After the news was published, the Election Commission of Kathmandu permitted the District Election Office Bajura to set up a polling station on 25th June 2074.

The residents of Gumba village are going to vote for the third time after the establishment of a polling station in the village. 85-year-old Chhiring Dhorche Lama of Gumba village said that he was happy after the polling station was established in the village. Another local member, Jagat Bahadur Lama, said that even those who were deprived of voting in the past will now vote in the village.
