The Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal, 1990 established a parliamentary system of government based on representative politics where people elect their representatives to govern themself. The people evaluate the performance of their representatives through periodic elections at all governance levels, the villages, districts and the centre.

Nepal’s representative political process remains disrupted since May 2002, when parliament was dissolved in just three years after the elections of May/June 1999. The terms of elected local governments expired in July the same year.
