First winner of CA POLL

The vice president of Nepali Congress (NC) Prakash Man Singh has become the first winner of the Constituent Assembly (CA) election. He won the election in Kathmandu -1 constituency by garnering over 14,315 votes.

He defeated Unified Marxist Leninist (UML's) Pradeep Nepal, who bagged over 6000 and Maoists' Ram Man Shrestha who bagged 3898 votes. The vote counting result of Kathmandu 1 constituency came out this morning. Its results came quickly since the Election Commission (EC) had used Electronic Voting Machines in that constituency.

NC supporters held an impromptu celebration in front of City Hall where the counting was carried out. Meanwhile, counting has started in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur, Banke and many other districts. Initial results show that NC, UML and Maoists are engaged in triangular contest in most places.
