The Election Commission (EC) has validated the list of Nepal Sadbhawana Party (Anandi Devi) submitted by party president Anandi Devi Singh on Wednesday.

The commission rejected the list sent by Minister for Industries, Commerce and Supplies Shyam Sundar Gupta.

As two separate lists were submitted to the commission, EC had asked both the sides to come up with valid documents to prove their claims.

Anandi Devi faction had submitted the names of Sarita Giri and Motilal Dugar. Gupta submitted the names of his son Rakesh Kumar Gupta and Manju Devi Mandal.

In the meantime, Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party (TMLP) has proposed Arabinda Sah in place of Dr Bijay Kumar Singh after EC nullified name of Singh. nepalnews.com ia May 08 08
