KATHMANDU:<\/strong> The Election Commission (EC) has issued a stern reminder to all parties involved regarding the imperative adherence to the Election Code of Conduct for the forthcoming April 27 by-elections for the House of Representatives (HoR) in Ilam-2 and the State Assembly in Bajhang-1.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing the gravity of any breach of the current Election Code of Conduct, the EC cautioned of potential legal consequences.<\/p>\n

It explicitly cautioned against the misuse of social media platforms or any other activities that contravened the Election Code of Conduct.<\/p>\n

The EC underscored the paramount importance of fostering a climate conducive to free, fair, and unbiased elections, affirming that the Election Code of Conduct would remain enforceable until the conclusion of the electoral process.<\/p>\n

Shaligram Sharma Paudel, the spokesperson for the Election Commission (EC), highlighted specific prohibitions, including the dissemination of false or deceptive information, propaganda, and offensive remarks on social media platforms.<\/p>\n

Moreover, any manipulation or tampering with material to influence election outcomes is deemed unlawful.<\/p>\n

To ensure adherence, a district code of conduct monitoring committee, headed by the Chief Election Officer, has been established.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the EC is in the process of setting up a dedicated social media monitoring unit to promptly address any violations and implement necessary measures.<\/p>\n

To support responsible media coverage, the EC will liaise with Nepal\u2019s Press Council to encourage the distribution of trustworthy, safe, and unbiased material.<\/p>\n

This includes discouraging unpleasant or deceptive content about the election and taking swift action against any such items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
