The Nepalese Constituent Assembly
is a body of 601 members formed as a result of an election that was held on April 10, 2008.[1] The Constituent Assembly is tasked with writing a new constitution,[2] and it will act as the interim legislature for a term of two years. [3] 240 members were elected in a direct vote in constituencies, 335 were elected through proportional representation,[4] and the remaining 26 seats were reserved for nominated members.[5]

The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN (M)) is the largest party in the Constituent Assembly, having won half of the directly elected seats and about 30% of proportional representation seats.[6] The Constituent Assembly declared a republic at its first meeting on May 28, 2008, abolishing the monarchy.[7]

In late June 2008, the parties agreed to divide the 26 nominated seats in the Constituent Assembly between nine parties: the CPN (M) was to receive nine of these seats, while the Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (which respectively placed second and third in the election) would each receive five, the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum would receive two, and the Sadbhavana Party, the Nepal Workers and Peasants Party, Janamorcha Nepal, and the Communist Party of Nepal-Marxist Leninist would each receive one nominated seat.[5][8]

The composition of CA looks like this:
