KATHMANDU: The Nagarik Unmukti Party has secured its berth in the federal parliament this time by winning three seats in the House of Representatives (HoR) during the recent elections to the member of the House of Representatives and Province Assembly (PA).
The party with Resham Chaudhary as its patron emerged victorious in eight Province Assembly electoral constituencies.
Despite this achievement, so far the party is unlikely to exceed threshold towards proportional representation (PR) and find a ground to get the recognition of a national party.
According to the Election Commission, the party has received 271,696 votes under PR category so far. Resham Chaudhary’s wife and party chairperson Ranju Shrestha has won the HoR seat from Kailali constituency-1 by receiving 30,404 votes.
Similarly, party candidate Arun Chaudhary was elected to the HoR polls from Kailali constituency-2. He received 21,871 votes.
Similarly, Krishna Kumar Chaudhary of the party has secured his place in HoR by garnering 23,120.
In addition, Resham Chaudhary’s father, Lalbir Chaudhary, won the election from Bardiya-2 as an independent candidate. He finished the race with 26,520 votes and had the party’s support in the election.
Resham Chaudhary is spending time in jail on the charge of his involvement in Tikapur incident that took place on August 24, 2015.
With the announcements of election results, the party has been the topic of discussion in the context of formation of new government.
