SUDUPASCHIM: Nepali Congress candidate Tika Chaudhary Bhul has been elected unopposed as the head of District Coordination Committee, Kailali.
Returning Officer Premraj Bhatt said that Dagaura Tharu, a candidate for the post of Chief of the District Coordination Committee, was elected unopposed after Nagarik Unmukti Party leader Dagaura Tharu withdrew his candidature today.
Bhul was elected as a ward member of Kailali Rural Municipality, before he stood for the post of DCC chair. Parties such as CPN (UML), CPN (Maoist Center), CPN (Unified Socialists) and others did not file candidacy for the post.
The post had fallen vacant after the demise of Padam Bahadur Kalel, who was elected as the head of the Kailali District Coordination Committee in the local elections held two years ago.
