Municipal election for Pokhara, is expected to be held in May 2022 for the position of Mayor, a Deputy Mayor, Ward Chairmen and Ward Members. All positions are for a period of 5 years.[2][3] A secondary election is to be held for municipal executive which will elect 5 women from the elected ward members and 3 members who must be from the Dalit and minority community.[4]

Background

Elections were last held in 2017. With the passing of a new constitution, a commission was formed to restructure the existing local levels into more powerful and autonomous local bodies. The city limits of Kathmandu remained unchanged during this restructuring but the number of wards was decreased from 35 to 32. Electors in each ward will elect a ward chairman and 4 ward members. Out of 4 ward members, 2 must be female and one of the 2 females must belong to the Dalit community.
