Govt sets Nov 22 poll date (6:40 PM)

The government Sunday decided to hold the constituent assembly election on November 22 (Mangsir 6).

A cabinet meeting held at the PMO in Singha Durbar announced the much-awaited election date.

"The CA elections will be held on Thursday of November 22, 2007," said Minister for Information and Communication Krishna Bahadur Mahara after the cabinet meeting.

Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala proposed November 22 as the election date at the start of the meeting, which got instant approval from rest of the cabinet members, it is learnt.

The cabinet announced the poll date a day after the eight-party taskforce suggested Prime Minister Koirala to fix the election date in the first week of Mangsir.

Meanwhile, the cabinet has instructed the Electoral Constituency Delineation Commission (ECDC) to review its report within 21 days.

The cabinet meeting also decided to mobilise the police force throughout the country to ensure security for the polls.

Earlier, the CA elections were scheduled to be held in mid-June but could not take place after Election Commission expressed inability to hold it due to lack of electoral legislations and law and order.
