Party: Seats and Nepal

party: In the assembly, 165 seats are directly elected and 110 are allocated to parties based on proportional representation, according to The Chronicle Herald. The Nepal Congress, which was the largest party in the last election, has so far won only three seats. According to preliminary results released by Nepal's Election Commission on Saturday, the alliance of Communist Party of Nepal Unified Marxist Leninist and Communist Party of Nepal Maoist Center has won 19 seats in the National Assembly and is leading in 81 other constituencies. This is a clear indication that the Left alliance will get more than majority votes needed to form a government, said Sudheer Sharma, editor of the popular Kantipur newspaper. They also promised a stable government for the next five years, Sharma said. Sharma said the reason for the alliance doing so well was because their votes were not divided as was the case in past elections. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
