What is Right to Reject ?

Right to Reject

This is a special right given to the citizen by which a citizen can reject all the election candidates by voting in a specific symbol for it. If any citizen found that none of the election candidates are good, obedient and a good service men then a special option is kept in ballet paper and by voting in that option he can reject all candidates. If that option gets majority of vote then re-election is called. In that election none of the previous candidates can again be a candidate from any constituencies for at least 5 years. So new fresh candidates will come and the corrupted one will be replaced by new energetic and good leader. This right plays vital role in the developing country like Nepal.

Right to Recall 

This is a right given to the people in which citizens can recall their representatives from the House of Representatives. If the representative is found doing illegal activities, corruption and other misuse of power and authority then the citizens of his\her constituency can collect the votes against him. If 75% of the citizen votes is reached then he must resign from that post and new one will replace him. For the new one either election can be done or the candidate of second position in the previous election will represent the house. This right must be given to the people so that any leader won't misuse any post, won't do corruption and illegal activities. This is more powerful than the right to reject.
