Nepal’s RSP Hold Orientation For It’s MP’s After Landslide Victory In Parliamentary Polls

Newly elected member of the House of Representatives and former rapper turned mayor, Balendra Shah, also known as Balen, associated with the Rastriya Swatantra Party, attends an orientation program in Lalitpur, Nepal, on March 18, 2026. The Rastriya Swatantra Party launches the two-day orientation for newly elected members of the House of Representatives. The program is formally inaugurated by vice-chairs Dol Prasad Aryal and Dr. Swarnim Wagle, who ring the ceremonial bell to officially open the sessions. Notably absent from the event are party chair Rabi Lamichhane and senior leader Balen Shah, which observers suggest could impact the party's strategic planning and upcoming parliamentary activities.
