Kathmandu: Nepal's interim government has said preparations are on track for parliamentary elections next week, the first since a deadly 2025 uprising, urging voters to exercise their right "without fear".
The Himalayan republic of 30 million people holds elections on March 5, less than six months after youth-led anti-corruption protests toppled the previous government.
The unrest killed at least 77 people and left parliament in flames.
"The government will leave no stone unturned to conduct the election in a clean, fair, fearless, and peaceful manner," Sushila Karki, the interim prime minister, said late Tuesday.
"I urge all citizens to exercise their voting rights with confidence and without any fear."
