The party's decision comes at a time when pro-monarchy protests have intensified in major cities including Kathmandu in recent weeks.
The RPP also said that it decided to launch agitation as the government failed to control corruption, religious conversion and unemployment. The RPP has also criticized the government's approach in handling the COVID-19 pandemic.
As part of its protest programs, the party said that it will submit a memorandum to the government through 77 district administration offices (DAOs) and stage protest marches on December 27. The RPP will also stage protests at all district headquarters from December 30 to January 9.
The second phase of protest programs will kickstart from the second week of January, according to the party.
Meanwhile, RPP's Central Working Committee will be held on December 20 and 21 in Kathmandu.
