KATHMANDU, March 7: Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has emerged as the dominant force in the ongoing vote counting of the House of Representatives (HoR) elections, winning 16 seats and leading in 101 constituencies, while Nepali Congress (NC) has secured four seats and is ahead in nine, the Nepali Communist Party (NCP) has won two and is leading in 10, and the CPN-UML has won one seat and is ahead in 12 constituencies.
The trends from the 165 constituencies where polling was held on Thursday indicate a sweeping victory for the RSP, placing the relatively new political force far ahead of Nepal’s traditional parties.

Smaller parties and independent candidates have also made limited gains in the initial count. The Shram Sanskriti Party is currently leading in three constituencies, while the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) is ahead in one constituency. Independent candidates are also leading in one seat.
Political observers say the early results suggest a strong public appetite for change, with voters appearing to shift their support away from established parties toward newer political forces.
Vote counting is continuing across the country, and the final results will become clearer as more constituencies declare winners.
