Pro-monarchists Continue To Hit The Streets Of Nepal
Rajendra Prasad Lingden, President of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), a right-wing royalist party in Nepal, addresses a mass gathering in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 8, 2025. Formed in the 1990s after the lift of the ban on the formation of political parties by the then-monarchical system, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) serves as a force always supporting the kingship. It also takes part in periodic elections and presents its demands. In 2008, right after the overthrow of monarchy rule in Nepal, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) secures 8 seats in the then Constituent Assembly out of the 575-seat strong parliament. In the 2013 election, it secures 13 seats, while in 2017, it falls to 1 seat. It bounces back in the election of 2022 with 14 seats. Since its inception, the party supports the Hindu State and the kingship as interdependent in the tiny nation buffered between the two giants, India and China. The Himalayan nation of Nepal has a population of 30.55 million, with a Hindu population of 81.19% as per the census of 2022. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
