National Assembly elections were held in Nepal on 26 January 2022 in order to elect 19 of the 20 retiring Class II members of the National Assembly, the upper house of the Federal Parliament of Nepal.[1] Members of the National Assembly are elected through indirect ballot and serve six year terms with one third of the members retiring every two years.[2] However, the retiring members served only four year terms due to the entire house being elected in 2018 when a lottery was held to determine two, four and six year term members.[3]
