He detailed the anticipated benefits, such as economic savings, a more streamlined electoral process, and enhanced governance.
Tamang emphasized that the new system could simplify the voting process, potentially boosting voter turnout. He also suggested that it might accelerate economic growth and contribute to national stability, presenting a unified approach to elections and governance.
