Final vote count to be completed by Tuesday

The Election Commission (EC) on Sunday said the final vote count of the election would most likely be completed by Tuesday.

Speaking at a daily press briefing Sunday, EC spokesperson Laxman Bhattarai said the final result of the election under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) is expected to be out by Monday and the result under the proportion representation (PR) electoral system is expected to be out by Tuesday.

Bhattarai said that thereafter the EC would take two to three days to count the votes received by each political party under the PR system and apportion 335 seats for all eligible political parties on the basis of the votes they have got. nepalnews.com ag Apr 21 08
