Kathmandu, January 24

The ruling Nepal Communist Party and its Madhesh-centric ally Rastriya Janata Party Nepal have swept the elections held to elect 18 members of the Upper House of the Federal Parliament.

The NCP won 16 positions whereas the RJPN won two in Province 2. Among the winners include NCP’s central spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha, who was defeated in the 2017 House of Representatives election in Gorkha-2.

Other parties could not win any seat as provincial lawmakers and chiefs and deputies of local governments constitute the electorate and there is a clear majority of the ruling party and/or its ally in all provinces.
