KATHMANDU: General Secretary of the CPN- UML party, Shankar Pokharel, has congratulated the entire team of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) following its strong performance in the 2025 Nepal general election.

In a message shared on social media, Pokharel said the election mandate has gone in favor of the RSP and that voters have expressed hope that “something new might happen.”
