More than 400 individuals have filed nominations for the 99-member Central Committee of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), reflecting strong competition within the party’s internal election process.

According to Bhuwan K.C., Chief of the Central Election Commission, nominations continued until late at night, and officials are currently finalizing the exact number of candidates. The preliminary list of candidates is scheduled to be published at 9:00 AM.
