HISTORIC AGREEMENT BETWEEN SEVEN PARTY ALLIANCE AND CPN (MAOIST)

Following a series of meetings since May, with the restoration of democracy, a long awaited lasting peace agreement between the seven-party alliance and the CPN-Maoist, has been converted into reality at midnight Tuesday 7 Nov 2006. The historic agreement is expected to end the decade-old conflict and restore lasting peace through a six-point agreement.

 

The highlight of the peace agreement between seven party alliance and CPN (Maoist) are as follows:

  • Comprehensive peace accord to be signed by Nov 16, 2006,

  • Maoist fighters to go to cantonment areas by Nov 21, 2006

  • Interim Legislature comprising 330 members to be formed,

  • Interim Constitution to be announced by Nov 26, 2006

  • Current House of Representative and National Assembly to be dissolved

  • Interim Government to be formed by December 1, , 2006

  • First Constituent Assembly meets in June to decide on Monarchy.

 

According to the agreement, the Nepali Congress will have 75 members, CPN-UML and Maoist will have 73, Nepali Congress (D) 42 and others will get 48 seats in the interim legislature.

 

There will be a 425 member constituent assembly in which a mixed electoral system will be applied (First past the Post System for 205 members and proportional representation system for 204 members). Sixteen others will be appointed by the council of ministers. A Nepali national attaining the age of 18 will be eligible for voting in the constituent assembly election.

 

The UN has welcomed the agreement and showed its interest to respond promptly in managing the arms and providing other assistance. UN Secretary General said that it is the historic opportunity for Nepal. He also emphasized that the both sides (seven-party alliance and the CPN-Maoist) must maintain the momentum of the peace process by fully carrying out the commitments they had made. However, the fact that could not be denied is that the nation has scarified much to translate people's aspiration for peace into practice.
