In the November 20 elections to the House of Representatives (HoR) and Provincial Assemblies (PA), Nepalis selected a set of old but experienced, together with a completely new and fresh, representatives. The elected parliamentarians and political parties must now get the cue that the voters have given to them. A ruling coalition must now be in place to form a government that can formulate laws and policies based on old experience and new knowledge and skills so as to develop a path of prosperity for the country and its people. For this to happen, the government also needs to be stable for the next five years. Therefore, a power-sharing strategy needs to be the least priority.
