It captured the optimism that carried the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) into power. Reports of differing views among Balen, Finance Minister Dr Swarnim Wagle and party chair Ravi Lamichhane reflect that challenge. It entered government as a coalition of people from different professional backgrounds rather than a party with decades of shared political experience. That diversity broadened its electoral appeal but also makes internal coordination more difficult. The coming months will determine whether Balen’s government strengthens internal coordination and improves policy execution, or whether its early promise continues to be overshadowed by avoidable missteps.
