Kathmandu, Feb. 14: The European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) has stressed on the need of transparency of political parties’ funding, amendment to existing quota rules set out in the electoral laws and women’s participation in politics.

Unveiling the final report on election observation carried out by the mission, Mission Chief Eva Joly stressed the need of bringing traditionally marginalised groups in the mainstream of politics. She further laid emphasis on the revision of the Press Council Act to reinforce its legal authority and contemplating more effective sanction to be applied in response to violation of the Code of Conduct by the media.

The termination of the mission in Nepal was announced on the same occasion.

The 112-member EU Mission that arrived here following the request of the then government and Election Commission observed the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections held in Nepal on November 19, 2013 and the counting of votes as well. RSS
