Pro-monarchists Continue To Hit The Streets Of Nepal
Pro-monarchists affiliated with the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) dance and cheer as they continue to take to the streets of Nepal, demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy on April 8, 2025. Formed in the 1990s after the lifting 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 monarchical rule in Nepal, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) secures 8 seats in the then Constituent Assembly out of the 575-seat parliament. In the 2013 election, it secures 13 seats, while in 2017, it falls to 1 seat, and it bounces back in the 2022 election with 14 seats. Since its inception, the party supports the Hindu State and the kingship as interdependent in the small nation buffered between the giants India and China. The Himalayan nation of Nepal has a population of 30.55 million, with a Hindu population of 81.19% according to the 2022 census. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
