Rajbiraj, Oct 3: With the date for the upcoming local-level elections yet to be announced, aspiring candidates for mayor, deputy mayor and rural municipality chairperson posts in Saptari have begun publicly expressing their ambitions through social media. Even before political parties formally begin selecting candidates, potential contenders are using AI and digital design tools to create attractive election posters and circulate them on Facebook.
