RSP dominates Nepal’s HoR election, Wins 125 of 165 direct seats as final results announced

KATHMANDU: The Election Commission Nepal has officially published the final results of all 165 first-past-the-post (FPTP) constituencies in the latest House of Representatives election, confirming a sweeping victory for the Rastriya Swatantra Party.

The final constituency result was announced from Sankhuwasabha, completing the nationwide vote tally for the direct electoral system.

RSP Secures Landslide Victory

According to the Election Commission, the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) secured a dominant 125 seats out of 165 under the direct electoral system, giving the party a commanding lead in the federal parliament.

The remaining seats were distributed among several political parties:

Political PartySeats Won (FPTP)
Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP)125
Nepali Congress18
CPN-UML9
Nepal Communist Party (NCP)8
Shram Sanskriti Party3
Rastriya Prajatantra Party1
Independent Candidates1

The single independent victory came from Myagdi, where renowned social innovator Mahabir Pun won the parliamentary seat as an independent candidate.

Nationwide Voting Completed

Voting for the House of Representatives election was held nationwide on Falgun 21, 2082 BS (March 2026) to elect 275 members of the federal parliament.

Under Nepal’s electoral system:

  • 165 members are elected through the first-past-the-post (direct) system
  • 110 members are elected through the proportional representation (PR) system

The Election Commission said that more than 10.2 million votes under the proportional representation category have already been counted, and the final allocation of PR seats will be determined based on the nationwide vote share of political parties.

Historic Electoral Shift

The landslide performance of the RSP marks one of the most dramatic shifts in Nepal’s political landscape since the country adopted the federal democratic republican system.

The strong showing by the party significantly reduces the parliamentary presence of traditional political forces such as the Nepali Congress and Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist), which historically dominated Nepal’s federal parliament.

Political observers say the final parliamentary composition will become clearer once the proportional representation seats are formally allocated, which will determine the total strength of each party in the 275-member House of Representatives.
