New: Nepal Research has started an internet journal entitled Nepal Observer
that is going to be published on an irregular basis. The articles can
be downloaded from this site. The republication in Nepali newspapers or
journals is strongly supported. We only ask for a short note to pasang5
at nepalresearch.org (if possible with link). Crisis solution in Nepal (updated 03/09/2010), see also additional papers After the conclusion of the peace treaty on November 21, 2006, our special section on the crisis in Nepal that has been started with the finalization of the royal coup of February 1, 2005, has been closed at the end of November 2006. Beginning with December 1, 2006, it is replaced by a new section that has to deal with the hard task of building up a new and inclusive Nepal. The prior collections are still accessible through the following links:
The following statute calendar was decided on 16 November 2008:
The official results can be found on the Election Commission website. See also winning FPTP candidates, persons elected through PR system (in Nepali) as well as overview over total results (PR and FPTP with comparison to 1999). See new council of ministers of 31 August 2008 as amended on 25 March 2009 By-elections, 10 April 2009: The by-elections in 6 constituencies have further confirmed the results of the CA elections that took place exactly one year before. The Unified CPN (Maoist) has won 3 seats. This is one seat more than the party had won in these constituencies in April 2008. The NC has won one seat by another member of the extended Koirala family. This seat had been won by the MPRF in 2008, but the party lost one seat each to the Unified CPN (Maoist) and the CPN (UML). Remarcably, the NC lost the seat in Kanchanpur to the Maoists that had been won by Sher Bahadur Deuba in 2008. In Dhanusha, the son of President Ram Baran Yadav lost against the CPN (UML) candidate. This confirms that the NC is further loosing people's trust with its continued non-inclusive politics of boycotting the reconstruction process and the necessary army integration and because it is still following a politics of nepotism. The CPN (UML) may have won the seat that had been won by President Yadav in 2008 but this does not cope with the party's claim to lead a government without Maoist participation. The MPRF has lost one seat compared to 2008. This may hint at deteriorating support for this Tarai party but it's too early to confirm this as a trend. The poor participation in the elections must be seen as a hint that the people are fed up with the endless power games of the parties and their leading politicians. With the exception of Dhanusha (about 60%), the participation was 10-20% less than one year ago.
The following chart shows the miserable state of inclusion within the major parties. Especially Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) fundamentally offend against interim constitution and laws (see corresponding constitutional and legal rules):
