A cadre of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) holds a copy of the election manifesto in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 14, 2026. The right-wing pro-monarchist party places the monarchy as its highest priority, promising reform of the electoral system and a two-tier governance structure at the center of its political agenda. Releasing its manifesto for the House of Representatives election scheduled for March 5, the RPP reiterates its commitment to reinstating Nepal as a Hindu state, restoring the monarchy as a guardian institution, and scrapping the provincial structure. The party proposes abolishing the provinces and adopting a two-tier governance model consisting of a strong central government and empowered local levels. It also advocates for a Vedic Sanatan Hindu state with full religious freedom and interfaith harmony, along with a non-party-based local governance system. In the manifesto, the RPP states that Nepal's next destination should be a strong, prosperous, and developed nation guided by the ''Prithvi Path'' philosophy. The party argues that national politics largely serves political parties and leaders rather than the country and its citizens.
