Dhanendra Karki (Nepali: धनेन्द्र कार्की)[1] is a Nepalese politician serving as a member of parliament from the Rastriya Swatantra Party.[2][3] He is the member of the 7th Pratinidhi Sabha elected from Sindhuli 1 constituency in 2026 Nepalese General Election securing 16,659 votes and defeating his closest contender Pradip Kumar Katwal of the CPN UML.[4][5]
Legal Issues
On 17 March 2026, CPN-UML candidate Pradip Kumar Katuwal filed a petition against Karki, claiming that Karki was listed as a defaulter four times and remained blacklisted as a promoter-director of credit firm Biju Cooperative, until February 2026, but concealed this information while filing his candidacy for 2026 General Election.[6] On 8 April 2026, Supreme court noted that the defendant had already taken the oath as MP, and the case will proceed to a final hearing after written responses are submitted.[7]
