Rastriya Swatantra Party’s Balendra Shah and other prominent leaders cast their vote
Rastriya Swatantra Party Prime Ministerial candidate Balendra Shah casted his vote in Kathmandu-2 on Thursday (March 5, 2026).
Mr. Shah, however, is contesting from the Jhapa-5 constituency in the east against former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist). He is registered as a voter in Kathmandu. Like Mr. Shah, Mr. Oli is not a registered voter in his constituency, as he is registered in Bhaktapur, near Kathmandu.
Nepali Congress president Gagan Thapa, who is contesting from Sarlahi-4, is also registered as a voter in Kathmandu.
