National Janamorcha Proposes Reserved Constituencies for Women and Dalits in Direct Elections

Kathmandu. National Janamorcha has put forward a proposal to determine separate 'reserved constituencies' for women and Dalit communities in the direct election system in the process of constitutional amendment. Party General Secretary Manoj Bhatta presented a concept paper and made this demand at a program organized by All Nepal Women's Association and Dalit Samata Samaj on Sunday.

The concept paper presented by General Secretary Bhatta mentions that while maintaining the current mixed election system, specific constituencies in direct elections should be reserved only for women and Dalits. It is claimed that such a system will create an environment for women and Dalits to compete within their own groups and ensure their effective presence at the policy-making level.
