Anil Rungta is leading the vote count for the Madhesi open category of central committee membership at the Nepali Congress’s 15th general convention, with 2,155 votes recorded after the count reached 3,900. Ramkrishna Yadav is in second place with 1,738 votes, followed closely by Dr. Garib Das Thakur with 1,736, according to reports on the counting process.
Rungta leads as count reaches 3,900
The tally places Rungta at the top of the Madhesi open category contest, ahead of Yadav by 417 votes. Thakur is only two votes behind Yadav, leaving a narrow gap between the candidates currently ranked second and third. The figures reflect the count reported after 3,900 votes had been counted; they should not be treated as final results unless confirmed by the election authorities.
The count is part of the Nepali Congress’s election of central committee members at its 15th general convention. The contest covered by the reported figures is specifically the Madhesi open category. The available tally identifies the three leading candidates and their vote totals, but does not provide a complete list of candidates or the number of votes each remaining candidate received.
The reported totals for the three leaders amount to 5,629 votes, a figure larger than the 3,900 votes described as counted. The supplied reports do not explain how that difference arises, so the figures are presented here as reported rather than reconciled. Readers should refer to official updates for clarification and confirmation of the count.
Close contest for second place
While Rungta has a clear lead over the two candidates immediately behind him in the reported tally, the contest between Yadav and Thakur is exceptionally close. Their difference is just two votes at this stage of counting. The small margin means that the order of those two candidates could be sensitive to any further votes added to the tally, although the available information does not establish how many votes remain to be counted or whether the standings will change.
The current results offer a snapshot of the Madhesi open category race, rather than a definitive account of the full election outcome. The count figure of 3,900 provides the stated stage of the tally, while the reported vote totals show the relative positions of Rungta, Yadav and Thakur. No final declaration, winning threshold or schedule for announcing completed results is included in the information available.
Results remain tied to the counting process
The Nepali Congress convention is selecting central committee members, and the Madhesi open category is one specific part of that membership contest. The vote count is being followed through updates as ballots are tallied. At the point covered by the reports, Rungta was first, Yadav second and Thakur third, with the latter two separated by only two votes.
Further counting or an official result announcement will be needed to establish the final outcome. Until then, the reported numbers describe the candidates’ positions at the stated stage of the count. The available updates do not include candidate statements or reactions, nor do they provide broader details about the convention’s other categories. This report is therefore limited to the vote totals and standings published for the Madhesi open central membership category.
