Balen Shah’s RSP sweeps Nepal polls, winning 125 of 165 seats under FPTP Kathmandu, March 9 (SocialNews.XYZ) As counting of votes concluded in 163 electoral constituencies out of 165 under the First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) system in Nepal’s parliamentary elections by Monday evening, the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) secured nearly 76 per cent of the seats in the House of Representatives in a sweeping electoral victory. The three-and-a-half-year-old party, led by its President Rabi Lamichhane and Prime Ministerial candidate Balen Shah, secured victory in 125 seats, as one heavyweight leader after another from traditional political parties — including former Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli — fell before the RSP wave sweeping the country.
