Regmi calls on one and all to prepare for polls

Interim Election Council chief Khil Raj Regmi has urged all political parties, civil society and the general public to prepare for fresh elections.

Talking to state-owned media at the Prime Minister's Office in Singha Durbar on Sunday, government chief Regmi said that political parties, who may be divided on many issues, are one on holding the belief that the people's mandate is most important in a democracy.

The only objective of the government is to hold elections, and it will use all its resources to do so, added the council chief, who is also the Supreme Court's Chief Justice.

He said that during his stint as government chief, he will have no influence on the functioning of the apex court. All Justices will continue to administer justice in a free and fair manner, Regmi held. nepalnews.com
