RSP launches ‘Harmony and Cooperation Campaign,’ pledges to secure voting rights for Nepali diaspora



KATHMANDU: The Secretariat meeting of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has made key decisions regarding the current political and social situation.

The meeting expressed moral solidarity with the peaceful Gen-Z movement while clarifying that acts of vandalism, looting, and destruction are not part of the party’s political culture.

To prevent further social division after the movement, RSP decided to launch a “Harmony and Cooperation Campaign.” The meeting reiterated the party’s commitment to resolving disagreements through dialogue and tolerance.

The party also welcomed the government’s concern regarding granting voting rights to Nepali citizens living abroad. RSP stressed that this issue has been a major part of its agenda and pledged necessary support to the interim government.

Proposals include providing biometric services at embassies, consulates, and international airports, and facilitating the entire process online. The party also noted that many Gen-Z Nepalis are not registered on voter lists and decided to run a registration campaign at national and international levels.

RSP announced that its Central Committee meeting will be held in Kathmandu on Ashwin 7, where an extended session will discuss the party’s future directions.

Additionally, the party’s first historic general convention is preliminarily scheduled for Falgun 7–9. Following the government’s announcement of general elections on Falgun 21, the date and format of the convention will be finalized in the extended meeting.

According to RSP spokesperson Manish Jha, these decisions are expected to further clarify the party’s long-term political roadmap.
