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:
“This letter will be delivered to you by my child,—the child of my adoption,—my affection! Unblest with one natural friend, she merits a thousand. I send her to you innocent as an angel, and artless as purity itself; and I send you with her the heart of your friend, the only hope he has on earth, the subject of his tenderest thoughts, and the object of his latest cares.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
“Well, I am chiefly interested in the renomination, so don’t get disconsolate over that. If we lost the election I shall feel that the party is rejected, whereas if I fail to secure the renomination it will be a personal defeat.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
