| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Events that take place in the springtime, particularly in April, have generally shaped contemporary Nepali politics. If the People's Movement in 2006 ensured that King Gyanendra had to give way and the people reigned supreme, in April 2008 elections to the Constituent Assembly threw up an unexpected result, leaving the Maoists with the single largest vote share. This spring, Nepal faces a multitude of challenges, from pushing ahead with the writing of the constitution and the peace process in general, to ensuring a semblance of governance and strengthening of democratic institutions |
