A party registered with the Election Commission of Nepal is recognised as a national party only if it fulfils the two conditions listed below:[2][3]

There are currently seven national parties in Nepal.[4]

^ a: The NSP only collaborated with the CPN (MC) for the 2022 Nepalese general election using CPN (MC)'s election symbol as a common symbol for both the parties.[6] Out of their 32 seats combined in the 2nd Federal Parliament of Nepal, 2 seats are of the NSP: Mahindra Ray Yadav elected directly and Umrawati Devi Yadav from the PR Category. The NSP alone did not secure a national party status.

Other parties currently represented in the Federal parliament

A political party securing less than 3% of the PR votes will have to send its directly elected or FPTP candidates to the parliament as independent lawmakers. In other words, candidates from any political party failing to meet the criteria to become a national party will be ineligible to be represented in parliament as a party.[2][7]

There are currently five such political parties which failed to achieve national status yet are represented in Nepal's Parliament.[4]
