Rastriya Swatantra Party Achieves Clean Sweep in Nuwakot, Defeating Established Leaders

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has secured victories in both House of Representatives constituencies in Nuwakot district. RSP achieved a 'clean sweep' in Nuwakot by defeating influential leaders from established political parties.

In Nuwakot Constituency No. 1, RSP candidate Bikram Timilsina was victorious. In the counting completed on Sunday, Timilsina secured his win by obtaining 22,609 votes.

He defeated prominent Nepali Congress leader Prakash Sharan Mahat by a margin of 4,012 votes. The defeated Mahat secured 18,597 votes. In the same constituency, CPN candidate Hit Bahadur Tamang was in third place with 13,377 votes, while CPN-UML's Badri Mainali received 8,932 votes.

Similarly, in Constituency No. 2, RSP's Achyutram Lamichhane registered a massive victory margin. Lamichhane secured 32,054 votes, while his closest competitor, Jagdishwor Narsingh KC of the Nepali Congress, received only 15,503 votes. The vote difference between Lamichhane and KC stands at 16,551. CPN-UML's Keshav Raj Pandey was relegated to third place in that constituency with 8,285 votes.

This election result has completely overturned the old parties' legacy in Nuwakot.
