It is way past midnight in Nepal. Most people are now not sleeping but instead waiting for the result of the general election today. Nearly, 60% of the eligible voters cast their votes. There are some news of violence and even some people dies too. However, the voting ended peacefully more or less.
With the rebels out of the bush and contesting the vote and the monarch — the world's last Hindu king — likely to soon lose his throne, millions saw the country's first election in nine years as a moment too historic to miss.
"This is our chance to stop the bleeding," said Arpana Shrestha, a 47-year-old woman waiting to vote in Katmandu. "Always there was blood in Nepal. Not anymore."
It is a very important election for Nepal and perhaps it is the most important election held in Nepal’s history. This is an effort to return to democracy after years of fighting and bad governance. Many people are hopeful and they went to cast their vote with the hope that their life will change and development will come in the country.
