Preliminary Election Results Emerge as Vote Counting Continues Across Nepal

Kathmandu. The process of announcing the vote count results from the House of Representatives elections held on Thursday is ongoing.

Vote counting has not started in most areas due to delays in collecting ballot boxes from various parts of the country. However, preliminary results have started to be announced as counting has begun in some constituencies in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur districts within the Kathmandu Valley.

According to information received from the Election Officer and Chief Election Officer's offices, preliminary results from 16 constituencies across the country have been announced as of 3:30 AM on Friday. Among these, candidates from the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) have taken an initial lead in 12 locations.

According to the preliminary results, the candidate Kulman Ghising, who is also the chairman of the Ujyalo Nepal Party, is leading in Kathmandu Constituency No. 3.

Similarly, RSP candidates have taken an initial lead in Kathmandu Constituencies No. 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10. RSP has also taken a significant lead with a large margin in Banke Constituency No. 1. Furthermore, preliminary results show that RSP candidates are leading in Kanchanpur Constituencies No. 2 and 3. RSP also appears to be taking the initial lead in all three constituencies of Kaski.

Candidates from the CPN-UML have maintained leads in Banke-2 and Bhaktapur-2. The Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) have not yet managed to take a lead anywhere.

Election offices have stated that counting in many other constituencies will only begin after the ballot boxes are collected and the all-party meeting is held. Since counting is ongoing, there is a possibility of further changes in the preliminary results.
