Kathmandu. The Election Commission has written to the Press Council to proceed with the process of taking action against Setopati Online, judging that the election code of conduct has been violated. According to the commission, some of the news published by Setopati during the election period have violated the provisions of the code of conduct. The Commission has objected to the news published targeting the Chitwan-3 constituency titled 'Sovita Gautam will win the election in Chitwan-3, Renu Dahal second'.
In the letter sent by the commission, it is mentioned that conducting polls related to vote results, publicizing or publishing the results from the date of registration of nomination of candidates until the end of voting is against the code of conduct.
