Chaudhary had applied to the EC to validate his appointment as chairman. However, EC Spokesperson Shaligram Sharma Paudyal stated that Chaudhary's application was rejected as it did not comply with the Political Parties Act.
"He submitted an application to update the party’s details recorded at the EC. The EC neither agreed to nor accepted it as per the provisions of the Political Parties Act. The previous status quo has been maintained," said Paudyal.
