Nepali Communist Party Joint Coordinator and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal registered his nomination for the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives (HoR) from the Rautahat-1. 

He visited the Office of the Election Officer to file the nomination which was proposed by NCP central member Ram Naresh Mandal and seconded by Chandeshwor Raut, according to Nepal's private secretary Laxman Regmi. 

In the previous election, he was elected from the same constituency.

Following the filing of his nomination, Nepal said his candidacy was for ending the issues of poverty, unemployment, and for creating jobs and promoting skills, making the nation's economy vibrant.
