His closest competitor, Suman Sayami of the Nepali Communist Party (NCP), received 3,217 votes, falling significantly behind Shrestha. This large margin highlights Shrestha’s dominance in the constituency and the strong support he has received from voters.

Other candidates in Kathmandu-8 trailed further behind. Sapana Rajbhandari of the Nepali Congress secured 2,835 votes, while Rajesh Shakya of CPN-UML obtained 1,909 votes. The results reflect a clear preference among voters for the RSP in this constituency.

Political analysts note that Shrestha’s victory is significant not only for Kathmandu-8 but also as a sign of the RSP’s expanding influence in urban constituencies. The candidate’s ability to secure such a large vote share indicates strong public confidence in his leadership and the party’s policies.

Vote counting in Kathmandu-8 has concluded, and the official declaration of victory further solidifies Virajbhakta Shrestha as a major political figure in the capital. The win also contributes to the overall momentum of the Rastriya Swatantra Party in the nationwide election, marking a turning point in the political landscape of Nepal.

The RSP’s performance in Kathmandu-8 is part of a larger trend seen across multiple constituencies, where the party has shown strong leads and, in some cases, already secured victories ahead of traditional political parties such as Nepali Congress and CPN-UML.
