In the Constituent Assembly election, the NRP won one seat through the proportional representation vote.[2] The party selected Buddha Ratna Manandhar as its representative in the Assembly.[3]

In July 2008, NRP was one of three minor parties which opposed an amendment of the interim constitution, enabling the formation of a government by simple majority in the Constituent Assembly.[4] NRP called for support to the Maoist-nominated candidate Ram Raja Prasad Singh in the 2008 presidential vote.[5]
