Rashtriya Prajatantra PartyRashtriya Prajatantra Party (National Democratic Party) is a Nepalese political party. It is a right-wing pro-monarchy party, formed out of the political elite of the erstwhile Panchayat system. In 1997 RPP split after the faction led by Lokendra Bahadur Chand joined a coalition government with Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninists), with Chand as Prime Minister. The faction led by Surya Bahadur Thapa allied itself with Nepali Congress and toppled the UML-RPP government. In 1998 the party was reunited, after both factions had fared badly in the elections that year. The party split again in 2002 when Chand broke away. His party is today registered as Rashtriya Prajatantra Party (Chand) and the majority faction is registered as Rashtriya Prajatantra Party (Thapa). When the King dissolved parliament, he appointed RPP leader Thapa as Prime Minister. External links
