Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmaker Amresh Kumar Singh calls for stability
RSP lawmaker Amresh Kumar Singh has urged the government to complete its five-year term, citing historical lessons and concerns over judicial independence.
Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) lawmaker Amresh Kumar Singh has publicly urged the current government, led by Prime Minister Balen Shah, to serve its full five-year term. Singh’s remarks, shared via social media on Thursday, November 12, 2026, emphasize the need for political stability and caution against repeating historical failures.
Singh expressed deep concern regarding the current state of the judiciary, stating that it is a worrying sign for democracy when the courts themselves are forced to seek justice. According to reports from Nagarik News, Himal Press, Kendrabindu, and Lokpath, the lawmaker argued that the country must learn from past political instability to ensure the survival of the current administration.
Drawing parallels to previous governance challenges, Singh referenced the government of BP Koirala in 2015 BS and the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) administration formed in 2074 BS. He suggested that the collapse or failure of these past governments provides a clear historical lesson that the current ruling coalition should heed. Lokpath noted that Singh believes the current administration, which holds a two-thirds majority, should not be granted the excuse of failure, as the public expects a full term of service.
National interest and stability
Beyond the call for a full term, Singh warned against external interference in Nepal's internal affairs. He asserted that it is unacceptable for the nation's internal sovereignty to be weakened by the influence of outside actors. "We must move forward by keeping the soil and the people of Nepal at the center," he wrote in his statement, as cited by Himal Press and Kendrabindu.
While Singh’s comments have sparked discussion regarding his relationship with his own party, his primary message remains focused on the necessity of completing the five-year mandate. Nagarik News reported that he emphasized the importance of the RSP and the government prioritizing national interests over political maneuvering. As the political climate remains sensitive, Singh’s call serves as a reminder of the fragility of Nepal's democratic institutions and the high expectations placed upon the current leadership to maintain stability throughout their tenure.
