Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) Chairman Upendra Yadav has been sworn in as lawmaker.
Speaker Devraj Ghimire administered the oath of office and secrecy to Yadav amid a ceremony held at the Singha Durbar on Tuesday.
Yadav was elected as a member of the House of Representatives after winning the by-election held in the Bara-2 constituency on April 23. He secured 28,415 votes to beat Shiva Chandra Kushwaha of Janamat Party by 5,081 votes.
The Bara-2 constituency had fallen vacant after Ram Sahay Prasad Yadav was elected vice-president.
The JSP chairman had lost to Janamat Party Chairman CK Raut in the HoR constituency of Saptari-2 in the November 2022 general election.
