General elections were held in Nepal on 15 November 1994 to elect the Nepal House of Representatives (Pratinidhi Sabha). The election took place after the previous Nepali Congress government collapsed and King Birenda called new elections. The results showed that the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) won the most seats in the House of Representatives and Man Mohan Adhikari became Prime Minister at the head of a minority government.
