The RSP is leading Nepal’s House of Representatives elections. Out of 28 constituencies yet to be announced, RSP candidates are leading in 18, and the party has already won 106 seats. 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.
