FNCCI Committee Submits Report on Modalities for Election
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

September 8: A committee formed by the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) to recommended modalities for the election of the umbrella organisations of entrepreneurs and industrialists of Nepal has submitted its report to the executive committee of FNCCI.  

The committee has recommended three modalities for the election, which has been deferred time and again due to Covid-19 crisis. The committee handed over the report to FNCCI President Bhavani Rana on Monday (September 8).

One of the options given by the committee is to hold all three levels of election in the capital after the risk of coronavirus subsides. Other options include main election and election of associates in Kathmandu and the district/town election in the respective districts by maintaining physical distance while the third option is to hold election through electronic means.

The committee has given high priority to direct election over the election through electronic means, which falls on the least priority. The report suggests e-voting only if the other two options are not possible.

The report has stressed on opting for the main election and election of associates in Kathmandu and the district/town election in the respective districts by maintaining physical distance.

The second choice to hold election of all three levels of FNCCI in Kathmandu is currently not viable due to the pandemic.

The committee prepared the three modalities after consulting with the Ministry of Health and Population and the Covid-19 Crisis Management Centre (CCMC), informed Sunil Gopal Shrestha, member of the committee.

Although the FNCCI had fixed the date of its General Assembly to elect a new executive committee for April 10-11, the election could not be held due to the lockdown imposed by the government as well as the risk of coronavirus infection. The date of the General Assembly has been deferred time and again.

The FNCCI leadership is under pressure to hold the election as soon as possible.

The FNCCI members are divided over whether to hold the election after the risk of Covid-19 subsides or to go ahead for the polls by maintaining physical distancing.
