Nepal's new Rastriya Swantantra party is headed for a landslide win in the country's first parliamentary elections since protests brought down the old leadership last year.
Election officials published results showing that the party has already won most directly elected seats.
Yet, vote counting continues, and officials expect the final results later this week.
The party is led by Balendra Shah, a rapper-turned-politician.
Shah rose to prominence during the uprising that pushed out a longtime prime minister.
The Rastriya Swatantra, or National Independent Party, was formed only four years ago, and is unseating both of Nepal's two dominant parties in this election.
