The Parliamentary Special Hearing Committee today approved the nominations of Dolakh Bahadur Gurung and Ayogi Prasad Yadav for the post of election commissioners.

The Constitutional Council had recommended Gurung, who is the secretary of the Election Commission, and Yadav to the post of election commissioners. Yadav, an assistant professor at Tribhuvan University, is a Maoist-supported candidate.

The parliamentary committee approved their names as there were no complaints against the nominations.

The Council of Ministers will appoint them as election commissioners. The Chief Election Commissioner and two other commissioners – Usha Nepal and Nil Kantha Uprety – have already been appointed.
