News from Nepal rarely gets on the front page and I missed this completly until a Foreign Affairs alert landed:
The centrist Nepali Congress party won the most votes in last week's general elections, latest results announced on Thursday show.

The Maoists - who formed the single largest party in the previous Constituent Assembly - have been relegated to third place.
In many places this popular rejection would mean an exit from power, it appears not:
The BBC's Bhagirath Yogi in Kathmandu says that Nepal's future stability - as well as any new constitution - may well depend on the Maoists joining a national government, which is why intense negotiations are likely to take place in the next few days over the allocation of ministerial portfolios.

After a ten year civil war, ending in 2006 and the Maoists winning power via the ballot box, will they change course?
