KATHMANDU: The counting of votes for the House of Representatives (HoR) elections has entered its final stage, with results from 147 out of 165 constituencies across Nepal now declared.

The Nepali Congress has won 17 seats so far. However, it is not leading in any of the remaining 18 constituencies where counting is still underway.

The CPN-UML has won 7 seats and is leading in three constituencies: Sankhuwasabha, Ilam-1, and Achham-2.

The Nepali Communist Party (NCP) has won 6 seats and is currently ahead in 2 additional constituencies.
