Kathmandu, Dec 28, 2025 — The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and Kathmandu Mayor Balendra “Balen” Shah signed a seven-point political agreement on Sunday, consolidating their cooperation ahead of Nepal’s upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for March 2026.
The agreement was finalized after extended talks between RSP Chair Rabi Lamichhane and Mayor Shah. It outlines leadership roles, party structure, and governance priorities. Under the deal, Shah is positioned to take a leading political role, while Lamichhane retains the party’s chairmanship.
The pact emphasizes anti-corruption measures, youth participation, and institutional reforms. Party officials described the agreement as a step toward strengthening alternative political forces and presenting a unified front against established parties.
Political analysts note that this alliance could significantly influence the 2026 elections, particularly among urban and young voters. Full details on the implementation of the seven-point framework are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
