About Nepal’s Election:

Elections are scheduled in Nepal on 20 November to elect 275 members of the Federal Parliament and 550 seats of the seven Provincial Assemblies. 

A total 330 seats in the seven provincial houses will be decided directly; the remaining 220 seats will be filled by proportional representation. 

About Nepal’s Democratic Governments:

Nepal has seen 32 governments in as many years of democratic exercise since 1990 — and 10 governments in the 14 years since the monarchy was abolished in 2008. The country’s leaders had then made collective promises of a “stable government, consolidation of democracy, economic prosperity, and corruption free governance”. They stand thoroughly discredited — and not many people expect that the election to bring lasting political stability.
