Rastriya Swatantra Party Nears Two-Thirds Majority in Nepal's Parliamentary Elections

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is on the verge of securing a two-thirds majority in Nepal's parliamentary elections, with a significant lead both in direct and proportionate voting. This election could introduce Balendra Shah as Nepal's first Madhesi prime minister and youngest executive head.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) stands on the brink of a commanding two-thirds majority in Nepal's parliamentary elections. As of Monday evening, RSP had clinched 125 seats through direct voting with additional seats expected under the proportionate-voting system, making a strong case for its electoral dominance.

In the current tally, the RSP secured 48,29,910 votes under proportional representation, which political analysts believe will translate into at least 48 more seats. This puts the party well beyond the 138 seats required for a simple majority in Nepal's 275-member House of Representatives.

This election is poised to bring historic changes, with Balendra Shah expected to become Nepal's first Madhesi prime minister and its youngest executive head ever. The prospect of an RSP-led government marks a significant shift in the nation's political landscape.
