Nepal Election Commission Warns Against Child Involvement Amid Criticism Over Enforcement

Nepal's Election Commission has warned political parties against involving children in election campaigns, citing violations of the election code and child protection laws. Despite receiving numerous complaints and issuing multiple clarification notices, the commission has yet to impose penalties. Cases include Ashika Tamang, accused of using school children in campaigning, and Shakti Bahadur Basnet, alleged to have distributed money. The commission continues to seek clarifications amid criticism for inaction.
