 Three Cheers For Nepal's New Democracy By Praful Bidwai
The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) is now all set to participate in an interim all-party government, which will pave the way for the election of a constituent assembly (CA).
This is likely to inaugurate Nepal's transition to a new political order based on radical democracy, which replaces monarchical rule, strips the king of privilege and property, and attempts to bring about a social transformation.
Nepal's stability will come not from monarchical symbols, but from participatory democracy, which is responsive to the people.

 Nepal - Elections
The indirect participation of the political parties was a symbolic gesture toward national consensus and reconciliation; the chief protagonist was the moderate Nepali Congress Party leader, B.P. Koirala.
The results of the elections, however, demonstrated that a coalition of various communist parties was a major political force in Nepalese politics, defying the international trend of dismantling communist parties and regimes.
The poor showing of the Nepali Congress Party in the urban areas may also be attributed to the fact that, given that the communists had been banned for thirty years, the party did not see them as potential opposition and was overconfident.

 RW ONLINE: New Thunder in Nepal
In a press statement issued on August 27, Prachanda, Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), exposed the "cold-blooded killings of party members by the Royal Nepalese Army during the ceasefire period," and the government's refusal to seriously discuss the Maoists' main demands.

Part of the complexity of the political scene in Nepal is that throughout the ceasefire and negotiations, the main parliamentary parties have been locked out of the official government and have been organizing ongoing campaigns against the royal government.
