What Is The Proportion Of Votes Oli Received In Jhapa-5? Balen Shah, a senior leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) party, has been elected from Jhapa-5, holding two records. He received 68,348 votes, making him the candidate with the highest number of votes in the House of Representatives elections this time.
Former Prime Minister KP Oli received 18,734 votes. Balen defeated his nearest rival, KP Sharma Oli, by 49,614 votes.
He is the second person to defeat his nearest competitor by a wide margin. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) MP Dr Lekhjung Thapa had defeated his nearest competitor by 50,000 votes.
In fact, the difference between Oli and Balen this time is only about two and a half thousand votes, compared to the 52,319 votes that Oli received last time.
Oli had to settle for about 5,000 fewer votes than his closest competitor, Khagendra Adhikari, had received in the previous election. The previous time, Khagendra Adhikari of the Nepali Congress had received 23,743 votes.
In the 2079 BS election to the House of Representatives, it appears that Oli received only half of the votes that the UML had received in the proportional system in Jhapa-5. The UML had received 35,872 votes there in the previous election.
Last time, two candidates from the Congress and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) received almost double the votes Oli received this time. At that time, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) candidate in Jhapa 5 received 11,749 votes.
Out of the total 102,000 votes cast, Balen received 66.79, or two-thirds, of the votes. Oli received about 18 per cent of the votes. It seems that all other candidates, except Oli and Balen, received about 15 per cent of the votes.
