RPP unveils manifesto prioritizing monarchy, election reform, two-tier governance



KATHMANDU: The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has unveiled its election manifesto, placing the monarchy, 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 has reiterated its commitment to reinstating Nepal as a Hindu state, restoring the monarchy as a guardian institution, and scrapping the provincial structure.

The party has proposed abolishing the provinces and adopting a two-tier governance model consisting of a strong central government and empowered local levels. It has also advocated 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 stated that Nepal’s next destination should be a strong, prosperous, and developed nation guided by the “Prithvi Path” philosophy. The party argued that national politics has largely served political parties and leaders rather than the country and its citizens.

The RPP has identified hydropower and water resources, tourism, agriculture, information technology, good governance, the skills and capital of Nepalis living abroad, and the private sector as key pillars of economic prosperity.
