In a recent survey conducted by Kantipur, about 40 percent of respondents said that there is no political party in the country that they can trust. When the participants in the nationwide survey were asked, “Is there any political party that you trust in the current situation?” 40 percent said that there is no reliable party, while 14 percent said “I don’t know.” One percent said “I don’t want to answer.”
This shows that more than half (about 55 percent) of the people do not have a political party in their choice. About 45 percent named some party that they trust.
Since the survey was conducted a month ago, it is possible that it does not accurately reflect the current situation with only five days left for the House of Representatives elections.
More women than men answered either “There is no reliable party” or “I don’t know.” While 42 out of every 100 women said that there is no reliable party, the proportion of men who gave such answers is 36. Similarly, 20 out of 100 women answered that they did not know, while only 6 men answered that way. There is also a diversity in the answers to this question by age. Among the respondents under the age of 30, 20 out of every 100 said 'don't know', while as they go beyond the age of 60, such a number is only 7. That is, the tendency to not make a decision/demand when asked about the reliable party in the country is more among the youth.
The 'don't know' response seems to decrease with age. By province, those who say 'don't know' are the highest at one-fourth in Sudurpaschim, while the lowest is only three percent in Gandaki. Those who do not consider any party reliable are more in Gandaki, where one in every two people do not consider any party reliable.
The percentage of such respondents is the lowest in Madhesh, at one in every three. In terms of the respondents' place of residence, the highest number of respondents in sub-metropolitan cities who say that there is no reliable party is 5 out of 10, while that number decreases to 4 at the rural municipality level. This shows that there are more people who consider one or the other party reliable in rural areas compared to cities.
