KATHMANDU, March 7: Vote counting under the first-past-the-post system of the House of Representatives election is underway in 161 constituencies, but counting is yet to begin in four constituencies due to logistical challenges.
According to Election Commission Information Officer Suman Ghimire, delays in collecting ballot boxes from remote areas, mainly due to difficult geography and bad weather, have prevented counting from starting in those constituencies.

Vote counting has not yet started in Sankhuwasabha-1, Gorkha-1, Mugu-1, and Dhanusha-1.
In Sankhuwasabha, ballot boxes have already been collected and preparations are underway to start counting after an all-party meeting. In Gorkha-1, ballot boxes from remote areas have been transported to the district headquarters by a Nepal Army helicopter.
Similarly, in Mugu, counting will begin once ballot box collection is completed. In Dhanusha-1, efforts are ongoing to reach an all-party consensus on the counting process, and counting is expected to begin shortly.
