He referred to some past election incidents wherein some election observers sided with parties or candidates. He was inaugurating a training session for election observers for the election to the House of Representatives and the Province Assembly here today. He urged them to help the Election Commission to conclude the elections by following the election code of conduct, 2079 as election observers are important part of the polls. All political parties, civil society, mass communications and all sectors have an important role in making election a success as it reawakens citizens’ rights and strengthens democracy. Similarly, joint secretary and EC’s spokesperson Shaligram Paudel urged election observer organisations to train the observers mobilised for the polls to abide by the poll code of conduct. Election observers from 43 organisations have taken the session.
