Background

Ghorahi was established as a municipality in 1979. The sub-metropolitan city was created in 2017 by merging neighboring Tripur municipality and other village development committees into Ghorahi municipality. The Electors in each ward elect a ward chair and four ward members, out of which two must be female and one of the two must belong to the Dalit community.

In the previous election, Naru Lal Chaudhary of the CPN (Unified Marxist–Leninist) was elected as the first mayor of the sub-metropolitan city.
