A press statement issued by the Maoists on Wednesday said they withdrew the bandh respecting the requests of seven political parties, different organizations and people of different walks of life.
Maoists announced week long bandh from Sunday to disrupt the municipal poll.
Maoists have described the municipal poll as total failure.
Maoists also expressed gratitude to all people who had contributed for the success of the bandh.
Maoists appealed the seven political parties, civil societies and intellectuals to initiate dialogue for finding out the outlet of the present crisis through the election of the constituent assembly.
The statement further said that they will announce future programmes along with the process of dialogue.

Very few voters turn up to cast their ballot
February 8th, 2006
Today the Royal Regime staged a drama of election ploy across the country for municipal elections. One of the Nepali Blogers Dinesh Wagle has written in blog- United We Blog! For Democratic Nepal entitled – "Deserted Voting Booths of Nepal" very interestingly on today's election drama.
"An elderly man looks for his name in a voters’ list pasted outside a voting center in Kathmandu. Royal Nepal government is organizing ultra-controversial municipal election today."
"I went around a few voting booths to see how the election process was going on. I saw no people but security personnel on all booths. They were staying idle with nothing to do. A voting center in New Baneshwor was exception. There were some people! And they were looking for their names on the voters’ list pasted on the wall outside the Cooperative Center."
"Deserted Road in downtown Kathmandu. Today is a double Nepal Banda in this troubled country. The week-long general strike called by Maoist rebels to foil the election is on its fourth day where as the government has banned driving in the city for today’s election purpose."
"Police and Army were imposing a strict NO ENTRY policy for the press."
