Other parties include Nepali Congress with 15 seats, UML 7, NCP 6, RPP 1, Shram Sanskriti 1, and 1 independent candidate.

RSP’s rise marks a dramatic shift from the dissolved House of Representatives, where it was the fourth-largest party. Presenting Balendra Shah (Balen), the outgoing Kathmandu mayor, as its future Prime Minister, the party has gained a clear single-party majority. Balen won Jhapa-5 with 68,348 votes, defeating UML Chairperson and former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who received 18,734 votes—a margin of 49,614 votes.

RSP leader Sobita Gautam, elected from Chitwan-3, confirmed that a new government will be formed under Balen’s leadership. Gautam emphasized that the party aims to honor the public trust placed in the RSP and deliver results for the people.

According to the results of the House of Representatives election, Jagadish Kharel of RSP has won in Dolakha with a huge margin.

Similarly, Nepali Communist Party (NCP) candidate Bishal Khadka got 13,065 votes, Nepali Congress candidate Ajay Babu Shiwakoti got 12,298 votes, Ujjayaalo Nepal Party candidate Nimdorje Lama got 1,663 votes, and RPP candidate Pravin Kumar Thokar Tamang got 1,010 votes.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is approaching a two-thirds majority in Nepal’s House of Representatives. The party has already won 102 direct election seats and is leading in 23 more, giving it a strong chance to secure 125 direct seats.

In the proportional representation vote, about 2.5m votes have been counted. The RSP has received 1.265m votes (51 percent), while Nepali Congress has 427,000 (17 percent) and UML has 340,000 (13.5 percent). Based on this, the RSP is projected to get 61 proportional seats, Congress 21, UML 16, NCP 8, and RPP 4.

With 125 direct and 61 proportional seats, the RSP is nearing 186 seats—close to a two-thirds majority in the 275-member House. Such a majority is significant for constitutional amendments and impeachment motions, though a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly is also required for these actions.

Ain Mahar of CPN-UML has won the House of Representatives seat from Bajhang in his second attempt. He defeated Nepali Congress candidate Prakash Rasaili by 2,229 votes.

Mahar secured 18,533 votes, while Rasaili received 16,304 votes. Other candidates included Min Bahadur Kunwar of the Nepali Communist Party with 9,757 votes and Shailesh Kumar Singh of the RSP with 9,263 votes.
