The Nepali Maoists may bring a no-confidence motion against the country’s interim government, formed to prepare the country for post-war constituent assembly elections that were to have been held some months ago.
The news item in the Times of India notes that the Maoists have withdrawn from the government, primarily to try to force the issue of abolishing the country’s monarchy before the constituent assembly is elected. It also notes that a series of demands includes “holding the constituent assembly elections on the basis of proportional representation.” Previously, the electoral system had been tentatively agreed to be a mixed-member majoritarian system.

Nepali monarchy kaput?
Reuters India reports the Congress Party has agreed to Maoist demands for a republic. The Congress Party is Nepal’s largest faction going into a long-postponed constituent assembly.
A meeting later today will address their second key demand: full proportional representation for constituent assembly elections.
