Was poll body consulted on midterm elections, Dahal-Nepal faction asks

The law states that government must take the Election Commission into confidence before announcing poll dates. But an official says there is no written record of consultation between the two sides.

Leaders from the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-Madhav Nepal faction of the Nepal Communist Party have sought evidence of the government having held consultations with the Election Commission before announcing the date for midterm elections, as per legal provisions.
