The vote counting of the local level polls held in the Pokhara Lekhnath Metropolitan City has resumed from Monday.

An all-party meeting held today decided to continue counting of votes excluding the disputed votes of ward no 17.

The vote count was disrupted on Saturday after some ballot papers in ward no 17 were found to have bigger swastika marks. The parties held rounds of all – party meetings the next day, but only to continue the deadlock despite an instruction coming from the Election Commission for its resumption.
