“Parties without struggle history cannot sustain”

KATHMANDU: In the recently-concluded local elections, independent candidates have won in 13 municipalities including one metropolis and three sub-metropolises.

Encouraged by these victories, the announcement of the formation of a Rastriya Swotantra Party (RSP) under the leadership of Rabi Lamichhane, a media personality, for the upcoming state and federal elections, has started debates on alternative political forces.
