Rastriya Swatantra Party has taken early leads in both Bhaktapur constituencies.
In Bhaktapur-1, RSP candidate Rukesh Ranjit is leading in the preliminary count, despite the constituency being a traditional stronghold of the Nepal Majdoor Kishan Party, whose candidate is Prem Suwal.
In Bhaktapur-2, Rajiv Khatri has overtaken CPN-UML candidate Mahesh Basnet to hold the lead.
