The Election Commission of Nepal has begun preparations for by-elections to fill vacant positions at various levels of government. As part of this process, the Commission is urging all eligible Nepali citizens who have not yet registered their names in the voter list to do so immediately.

According to the Assistant Spokesperson of the Election Commission, Mr. Durga Prasad Chalise, individuals will not be allowed to register in the voter list once the election date is officially announced. Therefore, he emphasized the importance of early registration to avoid being left out.

The Election Commission recently held discussions with the Prime Minister, Mr. KP Sharma Oli, and the Acting Chief Election Commissioner, Mr. Ram Prasad Bhandari. They talked about setting a date for the by-elections. The main focus was on two key areas: Rupandehi Constituency No. 3 for the House of Representatives and Manang Province Assembly Constituency No. 1 (B). Elections in these regions are likely to be held in the second week of Kartik.

The position in Rupandehi became vacant after the passing of Rastriya Prajatantra Party MP Deepak Bohora. In Manang, the seat became empty after provincial assembly member Deepak Manange was sent to jail. In addition to these, more than a dozen ward chairman positions are also currently unoccupied in various local governments.

The Election Commission has issued a public notice dated 2082/03/11 (Nepali calendar) urging all citizens to register in the voter list immediately. The notice mentions that, according to Clause 4(2)(2) of the Voter List Act, 2073, voter registration will be stopped as soon as the election date is declared.

Hence, this is a final chance for anyone who missed earlier opportunities to register. The Commission has made a heartfelt appeal to all brothers and sisters across the country to take this opportunity seriously and get their names included in the voter list.

The Election Commission assures that the upcoming elections will be conducted fairly and freely, in line with its guiding principle:
“Free and Fair Election: Pride of the Nation.”

The Birgunj Customs Office has collected the highest revenue from the import of petroleum products in the first 11 months of the current fiscal year 2081/82. According to the office, a total of NPR 73.18 billion was collected in revenue from petroleum imports alone.

During this period, Nepal spent about NPR 174.09 billion to import five different types of petroleum products. These petroleum imports contributed 46.43% of the total revenue collected from the top 20 imported items, making it the most important source of income for the customs office.

Major Revenue Contributors from Imports

What Officials Say

Customs Chief Administrator Deepak Lamichhane stated that petroleum products and vehicle imports are the main sources of customs revenue at Birgunj. He highlighted that these two sectors consistently contribute the highest share of government income collected through imports.

Conclusion

The data from the Birgunj Customs Office shows that fuel and vehicles remain Nepal’s most heavily imported and taxed items. With more than 46% of the revenue coming from petroleum alone, any changes in fuel prices or import volumes can significantly affect national customs revenue.
