The Election Commission (EC) has decided to print the election symbols of only those political parties and independent candidates who have filed their candidacies in the concerned constituency under first-past-the-post (FPTP) election to the House of Representatives and the Provincial Assemblies. Speaking at an interaction the Commission held with editors of mainstream media here on Sunday, Chief Election Commissioner Dinesh Kumar Thapaliya said the election symbols of only those political parties and independent candidates who filed their nomination under FPTP category would be printed on the ballot paper.
