Direct vote count concludes in Nepal; RSP eyes majority government with 125 seats

The counting of votes in Nepal's recent elections has reached a significant milestone, with the Direct Vote Count phase now completed. The Election Commission of Nepal (ECN) announced that the counting for the Proportional Representation system is ongoing and is expected to conclude by the night of March 10. The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is optimistic about securing a majority, aiming for 125 seats in the new assembly. This election is pivotal for Nepal, as it seeks to stabilize its political landscape following years of shifting alliances and governance challenges. The results will play a crucial role in shaping the future political framework and governance in the country, especially in light of the ongoing economic and social issues. As the counting progresses, all eyes are on the RSP, which has emerged as a significant player in Nepal's political arena, reflecting a shift in voter sentiment towards more progressive policies and governance. The implications of these election results could redefine alliances and influence policy directions in the coming months.
