Nepal parties will boycott polls
Opposition political parties in Nepal say they will boycott municipal elections announced by King Gyanendra.
The king, who seized direct power in February by dismissing the elected government, had hoped the polls would restart the democratic process.

But a spokesman for the seven-party opposition alliance, Arjun Narsingh, said the elections would only prolong authoritarian rule.

He said the dissolved parliament had to be reinstated.

The king has said he seized power because politicians had failed to tackle the nation's Maoist insurgency.

He had called for municipal elections to be held across the country within a year.

The government has yet to comment on the boycott.

On my personal opinion, if this is the only way out, the political parties should take the challenge and tackle the bull by its horn. Before aggreing to participiate they should make certain arrangements:
Provision of neutral observers from S. Asia or elsewhere.
Handle and tackle any threats of armed groups on both sides.
Plan and design strategy of common candidacy among like minded parties to avoid cutting each others vote.
Mobilize cadres and lead by constituency centered canvassing rather than bein isolated from the common mass, basking in the luxury of comfort and security, while unaware of the real ground situation.
This is just muncipal election, comparatively safer place to hold election, can't the parties get 100% seats, what do they fear:-- vote rigging or lack of public trust?

Funny thing is in the remote areas, Maoshits are also holding elections and they are also asking these parties to participate in the elections.

Neither these 7 parties have guts to fight int eh elections in the municipalties nor in the remote areas of Maoshits.

What's holding these parties from participating Maoshits' elections? These are the same parties asking support from Maoshits once they declared terrorists for the parties' movements against Gyne. The leader GPKoirala of protesting parties even talked with Maoshits leaders asking their support for his movement. C'mon... what the f*kk these parties doing???

It is not surprising that these parties have decided not to participate in the proposed municipal election, because they cannot capture booths and falsify results as they have been used to do in the last 14 years. How can they win an election without misusing media, police and millitary resources?

Uhi purana rot lagaune kaam garchhan yi parties harule. Parliament the uhile nei khurkyo ni. Deuba le kharej garer, ani several days/months he ran the govt. too. HOw can they bring back such a dead parliament. This one stupid demand by these parties alone tell that these 7 parties are not trying to ove forward but backward. So we will keep on hearing unexepected things talking/demanding by these parties...

The king isn't contesting the elections, what have the political parties got to fear? Also, the political parties themselves dissolved the parliament. Why do they want it reinstated now?
