Communist Parties Shrink Significantly in Nepal's Recent Parliamentary Elections
Kathmandu. In the House of Representatives election held on Falgun 21, the Rastriya Swatantra Party secured nearly a two-thirds majority, causing Communist parties to shrink considerably. In previous elections, Communist parties maintained a strong presence in parliament. In this election, the CPN-UML, considered the country's main leftist force, won only 9 seats in the direct contests. Meanwhile, the other leftist constituent, the CPN (Maoist Centre), won 8 seats in the direct contests. The CPN-UML managed to win a total of 25 seats, including 16 in the proportional representation category, while the CPN (Maoist Centre) won a total of 17 seats, including 9 in the proportional representation category.
Why is the vote share for communists in Nepal continuously declining? Why did this election push them further to the margins? This is discussed in the video.
