After suffering defeats in three consecutive parliamentary elections, Rabindra Mishra has announced his retirement from party politics. Mishra, who is also the senior vice-chairman of the RPP, announced his retirement from politics through social media.

He said that he took this decision after much thought. He said, 'The decision I am taking today is not taken in despair, desperation or haste. I am taking it after much thought.'

Despite the widespread public opinion in favor of the restoration of the monarchy across the country, the RPP has repeatedly failed to organize and capitalize on that public opinion for various reasons, he said. He said that as the senior vice-president of the party, he would take responsibility for the RPP's defeat.

He has announced that he has resigned from all party responsibilities with effect from today. However, he said that his stance on issues including the restoration of the monarchy and good governance will remain unchanged. He further wrote, 'During my unprecedentedly ups and downs in my political journey of the last 9 years, I have honestly tried to bring about political and national transformation to the best of my conscience and intelligence. That effort has not yet been seen as sufficient.'

He congratulated the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for achieving unprecedented success in the elections. He further wrote, 'I wish that Nepali politics, which is running like a horse with a harness on the 'Prachanda Path', does not go from a hot frying pan to a charred one - that much.'
