CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY
|
The Constituent Assembly is the body of representatives authorized by the Interim Constitution to draft a new Constitution for Nepal. This Constituent Assembly is to be directly elected by the people of Nepal in order to make it representative of Nepali society and ensure that all groups in Nepal can participate in this historical process. The Interim Constitution legislates for the creation of a 601 member Constituent Assembly, with 575 of these members being directly elected (335 through Proportional Representation and 240 through First-Past-the-Post) and 26 being appointed by the Cabinet after the election takes place. The Constituent Assembly Election was originally expected to take place in June 2007, but as this date approached and the necessary election laws were not in place it was necessary to postpone the election until November 2007. The Constituent Assembly Election again had to be cancelled as November 2007 approached due to political deadlock over a range of issues. Some of the parties in Nepal refused to participate in an election until these issues were resolved and it was felt that an election held under these circumstances would not be legitimate. With the conclusion of a political agreement in December 2007, Nepal was able to announce a new date for the Constituent Assembly Election. The election is now scheduled to take place on 10 April 2008. |
