Election Waves Swept Away Maoists In Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
November 21, 2013: the UCPN-Maoist that has managed to be the largest party in the dissolved constituent assembly elected in 2008, has been hardly keeping in the third position following the NC and CPN-UML in the first day of the vote counting today after the elections held on November 19, 2013.
Nepalese voters have been surely for teaching a lesson to the leaders of the UCPN-Maoist that have failed in utilizing the opportunity given by the voters in 2008 to craft a new constitution. They have wasted most of the precious four years of the past CA on talking rather than doing something.
Now, Nepalese voters are certainly giving a chance to the NC and CPN-UML to craft a new constitution within a year not later as they have committed in their respective election manifestoes.
Looking at the tendency of the results on the first day of vote counting, the NC and CPN-UML are surely getting two-thirds majority. So, the crafting of the new constitution is in the hands of the leaders of these two political parties.
Probably, none of the UCPN-Maoist candidates would win the elections in the Kathmandu Valley constituencies if the current tendency of the election results were to continue.
