EspañolNEPALESE LEGISLATIVE ELECTION, 1999
(Redirected from Nepalese legislative elections, 1999)
The 'Nepalese legislative election' of '1999' were held in Nepal on May 3 and May 17.
The last elections to the Pratinidhi Sabha prior to these had been in 1994 when the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) amd been victorious and formed the first ever 'communist monarchy'. Yet by 1999, infighting, such as the departure of the Bam Dev Gautam and C.P. Mainali led splinter group, had got in the way of policy decisions and put certain people off voting for the party. The election resulted in a clear victory for Nepali Congress and they increased their number of seats by 28 and the CPN (UML) total fell by 17. Even when this number is combined with the figures of the other communist parties (Rashtriya Jana Morcha, Samyukta Janamorcha Nepal, Nepal Workers' and Peasants' Party) the total was still 23 below the total of Nepali Congress.
Following the elections, however, the various parties found it difficult to cooperate and finalise a policy of the Maoist rebels, culminating in the 2002 dissolution of the parliament by King Gyanendra.
Following the 2006 Loktantra Andolan, in which all of the parties successful in 1999, except the royalist Rashtriya Prajatantra Party participated in the Seven Party Alliance, the House has been reopened. There has been talks on when further elections are likely to take place.
