EC publishes final list of PR HoR members

By A Staff Reporter,Kathmandu, Mar. 17: The Election Commission (EC) has published the final list of 110 candidates elected to the House of Representatives (HoR) under the proportional representation (PR) category on Monday, 11 days after the election. 

The list includes twenty-eight men and eighty-two women, one of whom is from the LGBTIQ community. Bhumika Shrestha, a transgender woman, was elected to the HoR from the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP).

The RSP secured the highest number of seats, winning 57 in total, followed by the Nepali Congress (NC) with 20, CPN-UML with 16, Nepali Communist Party (NCP) with nine, and both Shram Sanskriti Party and Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), with four seats each.

The election results show the distribution of seats across community categories. Among the total, 29 members (nine men and 20 women) were elected from Indigenous Nationalities, 34 members including eight men and 26 women from the Khas/Arya category, 16 members (four men and 12 women) from the Madhesi community, 16 members (two men and 14 women) from the Dalit category, five women from the Muslim community, and seven members (three men and four women) from the Tharu category. 

Additionally, two men and two women from the disabled community were elected. Of them, two were elected under the Indigenous Nationalities and two were from Khas/Arya category. 

RSP’s 57 elected candidates include nine men and forty-eight women, representing various communities. Among them, 17 are from Khas/Arya, 16 from Indigenous Nationalities, three from the Muslim community, eight from Dalit, nine from Madhesi, and four from Tharu communities.

From the Nepali Congress, five men and 15 women were elected. This includes six from Indigenous Nationalities, six from Khas/Arya, three from Dalit, three from Madhesi, and one each from Tharu and Muslim communities.

Among UML’s 16 elected candidates, six were men and ten women. They represent a variety of communities, including four from Indigenous Nationalities, five from Khas/Arya, three from Madhesi, two from Dalit, and one each from Muslim and Tharu communities.

Similarly, of the nine elected candidates of NCP, five were men and four were women. Among them three were from Khas/Arya category, two each from Indigenous Nationalities and Dalit category and one each from Tharu and 

Madhesi category. 

The Shram Sanskriti Party’s four elected candidates include one man and three women. Of them, one each represented Indigenous Nationalities, Khas/Arya, Dalit, and Madhesi communities.

RPP’s four elected members consisted of two men and two women. Among them, two were represented from the Khas/Arya and one each from Indigenous Nationalities and Muslim communities.

With the final PR list now published, the EC will submit the official results to President Ramchandra Paudel on Thursday, said EC Joint-Spokesperson Kul Bahadur GC. This will expedite the process of forming the new government.

The HoR consists of 275 members, 165 elected through the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system and 110 through the PR system.

With 125 seats won under the first-past-the-post (FPTP) system, the RSP will have a total of 182 lawmakers in the House of Representatives. 

A two-thirds majority requires 184 seats, meaning the party falls two seats short of that mark. Likewise, the second-largest party, NC, won 18 seats under the FPTP system, bringing its total representation in the House to 38 seats. 

CPN-UML won nine seats through direct election, taking its total number of lawmakers to 25. 

Similarly, the NCP will have 17 lawmakers in total, including eight elected through the FPTP system. 

The Shram Sanskriti Party, led by Harka Sampang, the ex-mayor of Dharan, won three FPTP seats and will now have seven lawmakers in total, entering the House of Representatives as a new 

political force. 

RPP, which won one seat under the FPTP system, will have five lawmakers in the House.
