NEPAL: BAN URGES ALL PARTIES TO 'MAINTAIN MOMENTUM' TO HOLD ELECTIONS
WITHIN TIMETABLENew York, May 24 2013 7:00PMSecretary-General Ban
Ki-moon today urged all parties in Nepal to overcome remaining
political obstacles to hold the country's next elections within the
existing timetable.

In a <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6840">statement,
Mr. Ban's spokesperson said the Secretary-General "has been following
events in Nepal closely," and "urges all parties to maintain momentum
by overcoming the remaining political obstacles to hold the next
elections within the existing timetable of the recent 11-point
agreement."

In March, the four major political parties signed an agreement which
appointed the country's chief justice to head the government that will
oversee the holding of Constituent Assembly elections, effectively
ending the political stalemate that began late last year. The
agreement has mandated that elections be held by 21 June or
mid-December 2013 at the latest.

"The Secretary-General expresses the continuing commitment of the
United Nations to work closely with Nepal in support of the peace
process," the statement said.

Nepal has been plagued by political disputes since a civil war between
Government forces and Maoists formally ended in 2007 and the monarchy
was abolished.

The UN has closely supported Nepal's peace process, having had a
political mission in the country from 2007 until 2011. There have been
important achievements in the peace process, including the completion
of the discharge and integration process of the ex-Maoist army, the
successful and largely peaceful elections in 2008, the removal of all
minefields, and a smooth transition to a Republic.

However, challenges have included a missed 27 May 2012 deadline for a
new constitution and the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly that
followed.May 24 2013 7:00PM
