CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY CONVENES; DECLARATION OF THE REPUBLIC
The first session of the Constituent Assembly on May 28, 2008 voted to declare Nepal a federal democratic republic, thereby abolishing the monarchy. 564 members of the Constituent Assembly voted for the motion, with 560 in favor and four opposed.
Of all the parties represented in the Constituent Assembly, only the Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal (RPP-Nepal) opposed the motion. Prime Minister Girja Prasad Koirala said that Nepal was entering a new era and that "the nation's dream has come true", while celebrations took place in Kathmandu. May 29 and May 30 were declared public holidays by the government. The Constituent Assembly also decided that Former King Gyanendra should leave the Narayanhity Palace within 15 days.
Earlier on May 28, 2008 the major parties agreed on the creation of the position of President, while the Prime Minister was to hold executive powers; however, they reached no agreement on exactly what powers the President should have or who should become President, and these deliberations led to a delay in the opening of the Constituent Assembly.
