Nepal MP Scorecard: Check Your MP's Attendance, Promises & Performance (2026)
Every five years Nepalis vote — and then most of us lose track of what our MP actually does. Does your representative attend parliament? Have they kept their campaign promises? This guide shows you exactly how to check, using free public tools. तपाईंको सांसदले के गरिरहेका छन्? अब जाँच्न सजिलो छ।
Nepal's Parliament: The Basics
Nepal's House of Representatives (प्रतिनिधि सभा) has 275 members:
- 165 MPs directly elected from constituencies (first-past-the-post)
- 110 MPs selected through proportional representation (party lists)
Your constituency MP is your direct representative — the person you can rate, question, and vote out.
What the MP Accountability Score Measures
Our MP Scorecard ranks all 165 directly elected MPs with a composite score built from four components:
- Citizen Ratings — 35%. Moderated reviews submitted by constituents on each MP's profile.
- Parliament Attendance — 25%. Attendance percentage in House sessions, entered from public parliamentary records with sources cited.
- Promises Kept — 25%. Each MP's tracked election promises, marked kept / in progress / broken with evidence — plus citizen verification votes.
- Petition Responsiveness — 15%. How often the MP acknowledges and resolves citizen petitions routed to them on this platform.
When a component has no data yet, it's excluded and the remaining weights are re-normalized — MPs are only judged on available evidence, never on guesses.
How to Check Your Own MP (3 Steps)
- Find them: open the Representatives directory and search your district or constituency (e.g. "Kathmandu-1").
- Read their record: their profile shows citizen score, the Promise Tracker (every tracked promise with kept/broken votes), and the Parliamentary Record tab (attendance, bills sponsored, committees, positions held, and any cases — all with sources).
- Add your voice: rate them, review them, and vote on whether their promises were kept. Your input directly moves their score.
Why Promise Tracking Matters
Nepali election manifestos are full of commitments — roads, hospitals, jobs — that are forgotten by the next election. Our promise tracker records each commitment with a source (manifesto, speech, news report), and lets constituents vote on whether it was delivered. A promise marked broken with hundreds of citizen votes is hard for any politician to ignore in 2027.
What About Attendance?
Parliament attendance is public information, but Nepal has no official API that publishes it in real time. Our researchers enter attendance data from parliamentary records and cite sources on every profile. If you spot outdated data, tell us — the platform is citizen-maintained by design.
