Parliament voted overwhelmingly to set in motion the abolishment of the country’s nearly 240-year-old monarchy, which has already been stripped of all but symbolic power. The decision to make Nepal a republic will take effect only after the first meeting of a constituent assembly, which will be obliged to endorse it and will not have the power to amend or reject it. The national election to choose a constituent assembly is expected to be held by mid-April, but that election has already been postponed three times since June.
