Nepal is set to have the weakest Opposition it has seen in recent history.

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) swept the March 5 elections, securing 182 seats in the 275-member Parliament, just two short of a two-thirds majority. Established parties such as the Nepali Congress (NC) and the CPN-UML, which have dominated Nepali politics since 1990, have been reduced to 38 and 25 seats, respectively.
