This move comes after these lawmakers submitted their application to the Election Commission on Sunday, following a split from the Upendra Yadav-led Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal.

Among the 12 lawmakers of JSP Nepal in the HoR, Ashok Rai has garnered support from Pradeep Yadav, Ranju Thakur, Birendra Mahatto, Sushila Shrestha, Hasina Khan, and Nawal Kishwor Sah.
