2026 Dhanusha-1 election dispute

Kishori Sah's candidacy from Dhanusha-1 was scrapped by the Election Commission one day before the election after his name was found on the blacklist of the Credit Information Bureau of Nepal. He subsequently filed a writ petition at the Supreme Court challenging the decision. Although his candidacy had been invalidated, ballot papers bearing the Rastriya Swatantra Party's bell symbol had already been printed, and votes cast for the symbol were counted but not publicly disclosed by the Election Commission. Despite the Supreme Court initially directing the Election Commission not to publish the election results until a decision was reached, the Commission released the results following sit-in protests by the Nepali Communist Party, declaring Matrika Prasad Yadav the winner of Dhanusha-1. On 15 March 2026, the Supreme Court declined to issue an interim order on Sah’s writ petition, thereby allowing the Election Commission’s decision to stand and maintaining Yadav as the elected Member of Parliament from Dhanusha-1.
