Source-derived summary

The House of Representatives of Nepal is the lower house of the country's Federal Parliament. It is housed at the Sansad Bhawan, Singha Durbar in the capital Kathmandu. The current 7th House of Representatives was elected by the general elections held on 5 March 2026, and its first session convened on 26 March 2026.

The House has 275 members; 165 are elected from single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post voting and 110 are elected through a proportional electoral system where voters cast ballots for political parties, considering the whole country as an at-large constituency. The House of Representatives continues to operate for five years from the date appointed for its first meeting, unless dissolved earlier.

The current constituencies are based on the Constituency Delimitation Commission (CDC) report submitted on 31 August 2017. According to the constitution, the new constituencies cannot be altered for 20 years (until 2037) and cannot be challenged in any court of law.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60518189. The first chronological checks are 2026, 2017 and 2037.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
