Recommendations

1. Election Commission should undertake necessary steps to make available, the accurate and gender disaggregated data - political party-wise, post-wise, Provincewise, Ward-wise, Municipality-wise.
2. The laws must be enacted to make sure Political parties’ leadership and committees that decide on candidates include women.
3. Gender-disaggregated data made available by the National Election Commission does not even acknowledge the presence of LGBTQIA+ community although they are legally registered as voters under “Others” category.
4. Civil society organisations and International NGOs working in Nepal may initiate training programmes for the women who got elected in this election, so the incumbent women are re-elected next time.
5. Support from civil society should begin from pre-election times to aid women candidates in organizing and collecting political, social and financial networks.
6. Criteria for selecting candidates should also emphasize on political qualifications and experience in regards to the post rather than mainly focusing on subjective traits like likeability and sacrifice
