Background
Tulsipur was established in 1992 as a municipality. The sub-metropolitan city was formed in 2017 by incorporating neighboring village development committees into Tulsipur municipality.[5] 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.[6]
In the previous election, Ghanshyam Pandey from CPN (Unified Marxist–Leninist) was elected as the first mayor of the sub-metropolitan city.[7]
