Civic Engagement In Electoral Politics

Nepal is all prepared to conduct democratic elections for federal and provincial parliaments on November 20. This is for the second time that the democratic exercise is being conducted in Nepal following the promulgation of federal democratic constitution. This will not only lead to the smooth and peaceful handover of power to those elected by the adult citizens but also clearly indicate that Nepal is set to move forward on its course to institutionalise democratic ethos and institutions. In fact, the real intent of these democratic exercises and practices has been to ensure that the consent of the governed is secured through democratic process and procedures to ensure legitimacy and ownership.
