At the Nepali Congress's 15th General Convention, Bahadur Singh Lama Tamang is leading the vote count for vice-general secretary from the Indigenous Nationalities category, with 380 votes recorded after 900 votes were counted. His nearest rival, Om Bahadur Gharti Magar, has received 217 votes. The reported tally places Lama 163 votes ahead, while Taraman Gurung, Dilman Pakhrin and Prashant Man Singh Maskey have recorded 118, 74 and 28 votes respectively. One vice-general secretary will be elected from this category, and the figures represent the count reported so far rather than a confirmed final result.
Lama holds a clear lead in the reported tally
The count gives Lama the highest total among the candidates named in the reported results. His 380 votes are substantially more than Gharti Magar's 217, leaving a gap of 163 votes between the two leading contenders after 900 votes had been counted. The figures offer a snapshot of the contest at that stage of the count, but do not by themselves establish the final outcome.
Gharti Magar is in second place with 217 votes. The other reported candidates are further behind: Gurung has 118, Pakhrin has 74, and Maskey has 28. Those totals show the current order among the five candidates whose vote counts were provided. The report does not give a final tally or state that counting has concluded, so the standings should be read as provisional.
The reported vote count concerns the Indigenous Nationalities category and the vice-general secretary position. The figures provided are specific to this contest; they should not be confused with results for other posts or categories at the convention.
One position is to be filled
The Indigenous Nationalities category will elect one vice-general secretary. That makes the reported lead central to this particular contest: candidates are competing for the same single position, rather than for multiple seats within the category. However, the available figures do not say how many votes remain to be counted, when a final result will be announced, or whether the current leader has secured enough support to be declared elected.
With 900 votes counted, Lama has received 380, or 163 more than Gharti Magar. The totals for Gurung, Pakhrin and Maskey place them behind the two leading candidates in the reported snapshot. These comparisons describe only the numbers released at this stage; they do not establish how the count might change as further results are reported.
Results remain subject to the completed count
The reported figures establish Lama's position at the time of the update, not the final result of the election. The total of 900 votes counted is the key context for interpreting each candidate's number. Until the counting process is complete and an official outcome is announced, Lama's lead remains a lead in the ongoing count rather than a confirmed victory.
For now, the central result is that Lama is ahead in the Indigenous Nationalities vice-general secretary race at the Nepali Congress's 15th General Convention. Gharti Magar follows in second place, with Gurung, Pakhrin and Maskey also appearing in the reported tally. The eventual winner will be the one elected to the category's single vice-general secretary position, but the available update does not provide the final count or identify a declared winner.
