Rastriya Swatantra Party leaders take oath in Kathmandu

Newly elected leaders of Nepal's Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) have taken their oaths of office, marking a significant step following the party's first general convention. The ceremony, held at the party's central office in Banasthali, Kathmandu, saw President Rabi Lamichhane administer the oath to the six office-bearers and 99 central committee members elected during the convention.

The party's first general convention convened in Bharatpur, Chitwan, from Asar 7 to Asar 12. Following the oath-taking, President Lamichhane presented the newly elected officials with commemorative tokens bearing the party's bell symbol and certificates of election. Lamichhane himself was elected unopposed as party president.

The RSP is now preparing for its inaugural central committee meeting. A key agenda item is expected to be the nomination of an additional 51 central committee members. The party's recent convention and subsequent leadership appointments signal a period of consolidation and forward planning for the Rastriya Swatantra Party.
