"Congratulated both leaders on their electoral victories and RSP's resounding success in the Nepal elections," he said. In a post on X, PM Modi said he had a warm telephonic conversation with Rabi Lamichhane, chairman of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), and Balendra Shah, the party's prime ministerial candidate. On March 5, voters cast their ballots to elect 165 candidates under the FPTP category and for 110 seats under the PR category. With more than half of the votes counted under the PR category, the RSP has secured nearly 50 percent of the votes. Adding the projected 60 PR seats, the RSP could secure a total of around 185 seats in the 275-member House of Representatives.
