Background

Itharai was established as a municipality in 1997. The sub-metropolitan city was created in 2014 by merging nearby village development committees into Itahari municipality. 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, Dwarik Lal Chaudhary of the CPN (Unified Marxist–Leninist) was elected as the first mayor of the sub-metropolitan city.
