Despite the request of the Chief Election Officer’s office on October 9, 2022 to remove the flag placed in Chautara Bazar by the CPN Maoist Centre against the Code of Election Conduct, the flag placed in the market area was not removed.
On October 8, the CPN-Maoist Centre placed a flag with the election symbol on every house in Chautara Bazar. This act is a violation of section (h) of subsection 1 of section 14 of paragraph 4 of the Election Code of Conduct 2079.

According to the Chief District Election
