CPN-UML Trails in Vote Counting Amidst RSP's Strong Showing in Federal Elections

As the counting of votes for the House of Representatives elections proceeds across the country, CPN (UML) has yet to make a significant breakthrough. While Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is leading in over a hundred constituencies with victories, UML has only managed to secure leads in 14 areas so far. Mohammad Ishtiaq Rai is leading in Banke-2 with 14,061 votes.

Similarly, Bhanu Bhakta Dhakal in Tehrathum and Gokul Raj Bista in Gulmi have maintained their leads in their respective constituencies. However, UML candidates appear to be significantly trailing in other areas.
