Earlier, the Commission had urged the party to come clean within 24 hours over its publication of advertisements on broadsheet dailies calling people to vote for the party.

“We should comply with the code of conduct determined by a respected institution like the Election Commission as a duty and responsibility, and not as a compulsion,” Rimal states.
