Dr. Moh. Firdosh Alam was leading the race for Muslim Deputy General Secretary under the Nepali Congress 15th General Convention as votes were being counted at the party’s central office in Sanepa, Kathmandu. The party’s Central Election Committee reported that Alam had received 1,007 votes, ahead of rival Abdul Sattar with 772 and Atahar Kamal Musalman with 154. Counting was still underway when the results were released.
Alam ahead in three-candidate race
The figures put Alam in front of the other two candidates in the contest. Sattar was 235 votes behind the leader, while Musalman had received 154 votes. The tally was an interim result rather than a final declaration, as counting had not concluded. The Ratopati report also described Alam as leading in the party’s Muslim joint general secretary race.
The Central Election Committee released the vote figures during the count. Its reported numbers showed Alam with more votes than either rival individually, while the final outcome remained dependent on completion of the counting process. No final winner had been announced in the information available at the time of the update.
Counting at the party’s Sanepa office
The count was held at the Nepali Congress central office in Sanepa, Kathmandu. The reported figures covered 2,000 ballots. Of those, the tally listed 1,874 as valid and 26 as invalid. The counting was continuing, and the committee’s published figures therefore represented the status of the race while ballot counting remained in progress.
The ballot figures provided do not account for the full 2,000 in the reported valid and invalid categories: those two figures total 1,900. The available update did not explain the difference. The reported candidate totals, meanwhile, add up to 1,933 votes. These figures should be read as the numbers issued during the ongoing count, not as a completed final result.
Final result pending
The contest is for the Muslim Deputy General Secretary position in the Nepali Congress, as part of the party’s 15th General Convention. With counting still underway, Alam’s lead was the central development in the race, but the tally could not yet be treated as a confirmed final outcome. The committee’s figures put him ahead of Sattar and Musalman at that stage of the process.
Further updates would be needed to establish the completed count and the final result. Until counting concludes and the party’s election body confirms the outcome, the reported standings remain provisional. The figures released so far show Alam leading with 1,007 votes, followed by Sattar with 772 and Musalman with 154.
