The Parliament (''Sansad'') of Nepal has Two Chambers :
  • The House Of Representatives (''Pratinidhi Sabha'') has 205 members elected for five year term in single-seat Constituencies .

  • The National Assembly (''Rashtriya Sabha'') has 60 members, 35 members elected by the Pratinidhi Sabha, 15 representatives of Regional Development Areas and 10 appointed members.


Parliament was dissolved by King Gyanendra in 2002, on the grounds that it was incapable of handling the Maoist rebels. The country's five main Political Parties have staged protests against the king, arguing that he must either call fresh elections or reinstate the elected legislature. In 2004 the king announced that parliamentary elections would be held within twelve months; in April 2006 , in response to major Pro-democratic Protests , it was announced that Parliament would be reestablished.
