Kathmandu, March 12 Nepal's Supreme Court issued an order on Thursday to remove a candidate from the Rastriya Swatantra Party from a constituency in the Madhesh province from a financial blacklist.
Kishori Sah's candidacy in the March 5 elections from the Dhanusha 1 constituency was cancelled by the Election Commission two days before the elections after his name was included on the blacklist.
Sah filed a writ petition against the decision, and the court issued an interim order removing him from the blacklist, according to Arjun Prasad Koirala, spokesperson for the top court.
The Election Commission announced on Wednesday that Matrika Yadav of the Nepali Communist Party had won from the Dhanusha 1 constituency.
Despite the cancellation of Sah's candidacy, the RSP's election symbol received a significant number of votes in the constituency.
Now the court will issue its final decision on Friday, determining whether Yadav or Sah, who received the highest number of votes, is the winner.
