Minister Chaudhary faces tough challenge in Dang-1

Metmani Chaudhary was elected from the constituency in the previous House elections as a CPN-UML candidate.

Dang-1 constituency has largely been a Nepali Congress bastion since the restoration of democracy in 1990. Except in the first Constituent Assembly election of 2008 and the 2017 general election, the party has always won the constituency, which covers Deukhuri Valley in the district.
