Kathmandu — The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has said that holding elections without first addressing political imbalance, weak governance, and constitutional shortcomings would be meaningless.
During a discussion convened by Prime Minister Sushila Karki on Wednesday, which also included representatives of the Gen-Z movement, RPP General Secretary Rajendra Gurung and spokesperson Mohan Shrestha presented the party’s position.
According to Shrestha, the current constitution cannot bring about the transformation the Gen-Z generation envisions. “Only through a new understanding among the monarchy, political parties, and the Gen-Z generation can the country move toward stability,” he said during the meeting.
RPP Calls for Political Reform and Course Correction
The RPP, reviewing recent political events and protests, warned that continuing flawed political processes could again push the country toward instability. “This is a moment for a course correction in the nation’s political journey,” Shrestha said. “If this opportunity is missed, the country risks heading down the same wrong path again.”
While reaffirming its commitment to the democratic process, the RPP said elections under the current political and constitutional setup would fail to meet public expectations. Shrestha emphasized that the party’s long-standing agendas—transparency, social justice, and good governance—must be prioritized to achieve lasting national solutions.
According to the RPP spokesperson, the demands of the Gen-Z movement should be integrated into broader political reform. “The RPP is working to synthesize the diverse perspectives and aspirations of the Gen-Z movement and align them with the spirit of national transformation,” Shrestha said.
The RPP’s position remains clear — no stability without reform. Without constitutional amendments, good governance, and meaningful political restructuring, the party warned, upcoming elections could deepen the current crisis rather than resolve it.
