Yogendra KC Takes Charge as RSP Pokhara Committee President in Unanimous Vote

The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has strengthened its organizational structure in Pokhara by unanimously electing Yogendra KC as president of the party’s Pokhara Metropolitan Committee. The decision came during the committee’s first convention held in Pokhara on Saturday.

Sangita Timilsina Gautam was selected as vice president of the newly formed committee, marking the latest step in the party’s local expansion efforts.

What the new committee means for RSP in Pokhara

The formation of a metropolitan committee in one of Gandaki Province’s most important urban centers signals RSP’s push to deepen its presence beyond the national stage. Pokhara is a major political and civic hub, and building a local leadership structure there gives the party an organized platform for outreach, coordination, and future election planning.

The unanimous election of KC also suggests broad support within the convention participants, a sign of internal consensus as the party continues to build its grassroots network.

Why Pokhara matters politically

Pokhara has long been a strategically important city in Nepali politics, both because of its size and its influence across the western region. For a relatively young party like RSP, establishing a formal metropolitan committee in Pokhara is a practical move aimed at turning national momentum into local organization.

The new leadership team is expected to focus on party coordination, membership expansion, and strengthening the party’s visibility in the city and surrounding areas.

RSP’s broader organizational growth

The Pokhara convention comes as RSP continues to expand its internal structure and local presence. The party has recently been active in appointing and reorganizing leadership at different levels, reflecting a broader effort to consolidate its political base and prepare for more sustained engagement with voters.

With KC and Gautam now leading the metropolitan committee, RSP’s Pokhara unit enters a new phase focused on building momentum from the ground up.
