Latest Election
The 2008 Constituent Assembly election transitioned Nepal from a monarchy to a parliamentary republic and gave an overwhelming victory to the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), ostensibly ending the protracted civil war. Although acts of violence occurred during the pre-electoral period, election observers noted the elections themselves were markedly peaceful and “well-carried out."

Famous quotes containing the words latest and/or election:
“The two most far-reaching critical theories at the beginning of the latest phase of industrial society were those of Marx and Freud. Marx showed the moving powers and the conflicts in the social-historical process. Freud aimed at the critical uncovering of the inner conflicts. Both worked for the liberation of man, even though Marx’s concept was more comprehensive and less time-bound than Freud’s.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
