Rastriya Swatantra Party backs democratic republic in statute amendment

The party’s first general convention is set to endorse ‘constitutional socialism’, ban nepotism and expand the central committee to 136 members.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), which emerged as Nepal’s largest political force by securing nearly two-thirds of the parliamentary seats it contested in the March 5 elections, has for the first time formally articulated its political philosophy and ideological direction.
