The vote counting has been halted in Mahottari-1 on Saturday afternoon following a dispute.
The Janamat Party has obstructed the vote counting accusing that the proportional representational votes of the party were added to other parties.
Birendra Mahato, a central member of the Janamat Party and a candidate for the House of Representatives from Mahottari-1, alleged enumerators of mismatching the party’s votes during the counting.
The Election Office said preparations are being made to resolve the dispute by holding an all-party meeting.
Election Officer Gunaraj Shrestha admitted that a mistake was made while recording votes, but claimed the error was rectified while updating the data.
