NEW DELHI: During the consultation process on ‘one nation, one election’, 32 political parties supported the idea while 15 did not, according to former president Ram Nath Kovind, who headed a high-level committee that studied the proposal.
Delivering the 7th Lal Bahadur Shastri Memorial Lecture on Simultaneous Elections on October 5, Kovind had said that many among these 15 parties supported simultaneous elections at some point in past.
The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved bills to implement ‘one nation, one election’, and the draft legislations are likely to be introduced in Parliament in the ongoing Winter session.
