An 82-year-old man has enrolled and was unanimously elected as the candidate for this upcoming local level elections. Narasimha Byanjankar, who became an independent candidate in Ward No. 10 of Lalitpur, had been continuously elected as the ward chairman of the ward for the last 50 years. This is the 11th time he has become a candidate for the post of Ward Chairman.

His political career, which began from the time of the Panchayat system where parties were banned in the country, has been gradually continuing till the advent of the Republic to the restoration of the multi-party system in the country. He is not affiliated with any party. He has been working to bring together the members of other parties who have been elected as members in his ward.

Residing in Kupondole, Lalitpur early in the morning stays out of the house almost all day long. Listening to the grievances of the people and working for them has become his daily routine. In the past, he used to carry the seal of the office and finish the work wherever and whenever he met his constituents. He is popular not only in his ward but also in Lalitpur. Some people call him the grandfather/ father of the ward.
