Pro-monarchists Continue To Hit The Streets Of Nepal
Pro-monarchists affiliated with the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) sit on arranged chairs holding the national flag as they continue to protest in the streets of Nepal, demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy on April 8, 2025. Formed in the 1990s after the lift of the ban on the formation of political parties by the then-monarchical system, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) serves as a force always supporting the kingship. It also takes part in periodic elections and presents its demands. In 2008, right after the overthrow of monarchical rule in Nepal, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) secured 8 seats in the then Constituent Assembly out of the 575-seat parliament. In the 2013 election, it secured 13 seats, while in 2017, it fell to 1 seat, but it bounced back in the 2022 election with 14 seats. Since its inception, the party supports the Hindu State and the kingship as interdependent in the nation buffered between India and China. The Himalayan nation of Nepal has a population of 30.55 million, with a Hindu population of 81.19% according to the 2022 census. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto) -
