Municipal election for Kalaiya took place on 13 May 2022, with all 137 positions up for election across 27 wards.[1][2] The electorate elected a mayor, a deputy mayor, 27 ward chairs and 108 ward members. An indirect election will also be held to elect five female members and an additional three female members from the Dalit and minority community to the municipal executive.[3][4]
Binod Prasad Shah from CPN (Unified Marxist–Leninist) was elected as mayor but no party was able to gain a majority in the council.[5]
Background[edit]
Kalaiya was established in 1982 as a municipality. The sub-metropolitan city was created in 2017 by merging neighboring village development committees into Kalaiya.[6] Electors in each ward elect a ward chair and four ward members, out of which two must be female and one of the two must belong to the Dalit community.[7]
In the previous election, Rajesh Rae Yadav from Nepali Congress was elected as the first mayor of the sub-metropolitan city.[8]
