Previously, it remained as a junior ally in Prachanda-led government from 26 December 2022 until 5 February 2023.[7][8] The party was announced by Rabi Lamichhane in June 2022[9] and registered with the Election Commission of Nepal on 1 July 2022, ahead of the 2022 Nepalese general election.[10][11] The RSP is currently the fourth-largest national party in Nepal following the 2022 election.
