No party has managed to win majority in the recently held Constituent
Assembly election in Nepal. The Nepali Congress got 196 seats and it fell well
short of obtaining 302 seats for a simple majority. So, it will be a hung parliament
and political negotiation has already started. As an observer of Nepal for the last
one and half decade, I can easily predict that there is little hope for peace
and stability.

Jhalanath Khanal-led CPN (UML) won 175 seats, followed by Prachanda's
UCPN-Maoist with 80 seats in the November 19 vote to elect the 601-member
Constituent Assembly.
The NC has gained 91 PR seats, followed by the CPN (UML) with 84,
UCPN-M with 54 and Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal (RPP-N) with 24 seats.
Sadly, Nepalese people are deeply divided and there is really no hope
for any unity among the political leaders. So, I don’t see any hope for peace
in the country. On the other hand, this time, the people have voted against the
Maoists. This indicates that people do not like extremism.
