National and provincial elections will take place in Nepal on Sunday. The Nepali-Congress-led ruling coalition is expected to win the elections. However, it is unlikely to provide much-needed political stability in the country.
In seven provinces across the Himalayan nation, more than 17.9 million individuals are eligible to vote. Voting will take place from 7 am local time to 5 pm.
165 of the 275 members of the federal parliament will be chosen by direct election, and the other 110 will be chosen using a proportional system.
Similar to this, 330 of the 550 members of the Provincial Assembly will be chosen directly, while the remaining 220 will be chosen via a proportional system. Security precautions and preparations have been made in full.
Political analysts who were closely following the elections projected a hung parliament and an administration that would probably not bring Nepal the necessary level of political stability.
Since the end of the decade-long Maoist insurgency, political instability has frequently been a feature of Nepal’s Parliament, and no prime minister has held office for a full term since the end of the civil war in 2006.
A slow economy has been attributed to party squabbles and frequent changes.
The democratic and leftist alliance led by the Nepali Congress and the leftist, pro-Hindu, pro-monarchy alliance led by the CPN-UML are the two main political coalitions engaged in a political battle for the November 20 general elections.
While the CPN-UML-led coalition includes the pro-Hindu Rastriya Prajatantra Party and the Madhes-based Janata Samajwadi Party, the Nepali Congress-led coalition comprises the CPN-Maoist Centre, CPN-Unified Socialist, and Loktantrik Samajwadi Party.
In order to defeat Oli, Deuba, a five-time prime minister, has teamed together with former Maoist guerilla leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda.
The future administration will have to balance relations with China and India as well as maintain a stable political system and the tourism sector.
