Time has come for the voters to think twice before voting to their preferred political party and candidate considering the outcome of 2008 CA election. They should deeply assess the roles played by their favoured political parties during the last five years. They should try to find out whether their votes were properly utilized for the well-being of the nation and its people as promised by the political parties. It is hoped that this time the voters will use their common sense and vote accordingly to the appropriate candidate so their votes would not go wasted. Considering this, the end result of this second CA election might show opposite trend to that of 2008 election result as reported in “Will ’08 results indicate voting trends this time? (THT, 10 October, Page 1). However, who knows the inner conscience of each voter?

I think the voters must have now realized that casting votes to a political party would not simply mean that they used their voting rights. They should ask themselves that whether they voted to the right candidate or not. In Nepal, voters are still needed to make aware of their voting rights and properly exercising it using their conscience.

It should be known to everybody that the votes cast during the first CA election were wasted. Keeping this in mind, all the eligible voters are urged to cast their votes to the potential candidate only who can really play crucial role in drafting the new constitution. However, the outcome of the second CA election is doubtful considering the boycott of Maoists led 32 political parties. Will the second CA be able to produce new constitution in time and will that new constitution be acceptable to the agitating parties? Considering all these, there seems to be huge concern of the common people as to whether the second CA election will be held on scheduled or not and if it is held, whether the outcome of the CA will be agreeable and acceptable to all?
