Nepal Political Radar is an independent, non-partisan political intelligence platform. We believe that informed voters make better democracies. Every candidate who asks for your vote has a record — of promises made, of offices held, of allegations faced. That record should be visible, searchable, and in your language.
This platform tracks every significant politician: their biography, their election promises, their corruption allegations, their asset declarations, and their accountability record. We cover all parties equally. We make no endorsements.
All information on this platform is drawn from public record:
We are not a legal authority. The corruption allegations listed are from public record and media reports — they are not convictions or legal findings.
We are not aligned with any party, foreign government, NGO, or business interest. We receive no advertising. We accept no paid promotion for any candidate.
