Women Candidates Vie for Historic Wins in Baglung Electoral Battlegrounds

Baglung. Since the promulgation of the new constitution, no woman has been elected from Baglung under the direct representation category for the House of Representatives. In the upcoming elections, there is one female candidate in each of Baglung's two constituencies, and both women are aiming to create history.

However, women were elected directly from Baglung in the Constituent Assembly elections. In the 2070 BS Constituent Assembly election, Gyan Kumari Chhantyal was elected from Baglung-2, and in the 2071 BS by-election for the Constituent Assembly, Champa Devi Khadka was elected from Baglung-1.
