The Election Commission had conducted the by-election in the contituency after NC lawmaker Hari Bahadur from the constituency died in an auto crash in December 2014.
UCPN (Maoist) candidate Krishna KC, who received 2,505 votes, had to forfeit his election bail after failing to receive less than 10 percent of the total votes cast.

The number of support to the Maoist candidate declined by nearly 3,500 votes. A total of 13 candidates were in the fray.
