Kathmandu — The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has decided to forward the names of 57 individuals to the Election Commission of Nepal for inclusion in the House of Representatives under the proportional representation (PR) system.
The decision was taken during a central secretariat meeting held on Sunday, according to party spokesperson Manish Jha. He said the recommended list consists of 48 women and nine men.
Candidates Chosen From Inclusive Clusters
The party said the nominees were selected from constitutionally defined inclusive social clusters to ensure representation from different communities.
The distribution of candidates is as follows:
- Khas Arya: 17 candidates
- Indigenous Nationalities (Janajati): 16 candidates
- Madhesi community: 9 candidates
- Dalit community: 8 candidates
- Tharu community: 4 candidates

List to Be Submitted to Election Commission
According to spokesperson Jha, the party’s central office has assigned a team of staff members and secretariat representatives to formally submit the candidate list to the Election Commission within the stipulated deadline.
