On March 9-10, 2026, final vote counting confirmed the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP)—founded less than four years ago and led by 35-year-old former rapper Balendra 'Balen' Shah—won 125 of 165 directly elected parliamentary seats, with proportional representation results projecting 183-185 total seats and a two-thirds supermajority.
