Best Possible Scenario: How It Could Unfold

3 Scenarios: Election, Revolution, Chaos

1. The eight parties agree to hold completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly. Every third name on a party's list must be female. Other than that there are no rules. Madhesi, Janajati and Dalit parties contest.
   1. Elections are held on November 22. The result is a hung constituent assembly. No party gets more than 15% of the votes cast. The majority coalition forms the government. The assembly takes three years to draw a new constitution for the country in which all decisions are taken by a two-third majority.
      1. The country is declared a republic on day one of the constituent assembly. Ram Raja Prasad Singh becomes the first president of Nepal.
      2. Within a year a map for federalism is agreed upon. Within six months of that elections are held for state governments in each of the new states. The states draw their state constitutions and demarcate their village/town constituencies. Local elections are held within a year of the state elections.
      3. Within six months of the assembly formation a formula is agreed upon for the final shape of the Nepal Army. 30,000 strong. 30% Madhesi, 30% Janajati, 30% Bahun, Chhetri, Thakuri, 10% Dalit. Half women in each category. Those from the Nepal Army and the Maoist Army that do not get absorbed are absorbed into the private sector of the economy. Some are sent to school, college, vocational training, some are given small loans to start small businesses, some are sent for foreign employment. Soldiers from the armed Madhesi groups are also allowed to compete for the 30,000 slots as are the common people.
      4. The state is restructured. The number of federal employees goes down from 100,000 to 25,000. Of the 25,000 also, many lose jobs to make room for DaMaJaMa participation. Those losing jobs are absorbed into the private sector with government help. They are compensated so they can perhaps start small businesses.
      5. Each state forms its own bureaucracy and police force. The recruitment formula has to be passed by the state parliament and the competition for the state jobs have to be transparent.
      6. At the end of the three year period, there are a total of 100,000 bureaucrats, 40,000 police, and 30,000 soldiers on state payroll at all levels of government put together.
      7. The country is declared a federal republic of state funded parties at the end of the three year period. The Maoists announce no more revolutions are necessary.
      8. Parliamentary elections are held at the end of the three year period. It is again a hung parliament. No party gets more than 15% of the votes.
      9. The president is directly elected. A second round is held between the top two candidates because no candidate was able to get a majority.
2. The eight parties continue with their roadmap of disrespect for the Madhesi Kranti, no respectful talks with the MJF or the two JTMMs, and mixed election whereby they are not capable of drawing down the 240 constituencies in a fair manner, their formula for 240 seats through proportional election goes haywire because the Congressi Poudel makes promises on behalf of eight parties to various groups and that angers the other parties.
   1. The Maoists break away from the government. They start with street protests.
   2. Koirala does not budge. Elections are announced. A month later Koirala announces elections are postponed. They will be held in April based on the same mixed formula but with a better law and order situation, and better weather conditions.
   3. The Maoist protests turn into a full fledged movement.
   4. The MJF launches its own full fledged movement.
   5. The armed Madhesi groups get excited.
   6. The Koirala government collapses because his announced elections turn out to be a farce like the king's municipal elections.
   7. A new interim parliament is formed that has 300 total members. 30% Madhesi, 30% Janajati, 30% Bahun, Chhetri, Thakuri, 10% Dalit. Half women in each category. A new interim government is formed. The country is declared a federal republic immediately. Interim governments are formed in the eight interim states.
   8. Elections to the constituent assembly are announced to be held in April 2008.
3. The situation goes out of hand. There is full fledged civil war.

"The government isn't trying to address our demands including the proportionate electoral system prior to the CA polls, " he said adding, "Now, we have to launch a nationwide movement in the same old manner."
Maoists cite 22 pre-requisites for polls, gear up for nationwide protests The CPN-Maoist on Monday announced that it will launch indefinite nationwide protest programmes if what it calls “22 pre-requisites for the Constituent Assembly elections” are not met immediately. .... a “new people’s movement from the government, parliament and the street” ...... the immediate declaration of a republic through the interim parliament is one of the pre-conditions for the elections as “royalist forces are conspiring to thwart the elections by instigating violence in Terai.” ....... insisted that the Nepali Congress and other parties clarify their positions on the monarchy before the polls. ..... Removal of all army men stationed inside the royal palace, basic security for the king and his family, the nationalization of the property of late King Birendra and his family and the property of King Gyanendra inherited by virtue of being the monarch ........ Democratization of the Nepali Army by immediately constituting a security council and the start of a process to merge the Maoist People’s Liberation Army into the national army, a high-level commission on the “disappeared”, and a broader round table conference to address the demands of all disgruntled groups .......

INTERVIEW WITH PRACHANDA Transforming a country by addressing the class, caste, regional and gender issues in the transitional phase in a peaceful manner and being a part of the government to hold a Constituent Assembly election are rare experiments in communist movements. ...... analyzing all the revolutions and counter-revolutions of the 20th Century ..... the language that is used while in the White Area ..... Kathmandu still does not belong to the people. ....... At that point, the revolution could again turn violent. ...... a final battle can take place. ..... Some media houses that believe in reactionary violence are engaged in this propaganda. ...... when we joined the government, we were told that it would be run on consensus, which is not happening. If it continues this way, the relevance of us staying in the government will be over. ......... we have serious doubts about the polls taking place on November 22 ..... all the groups, including those in Madhes, which are creating troubles, must be controlled. ...... Since the Gaur carnage, our more than 50 cadres have been killed. ....... thousands of our fighters sacrificed their lives for the CA polls. ......

We doubt that Koirala is going to have a huge regressive and bourgeois change. ..... There won’t be the Koirala government if elections don’t take place. Not only will Koirala’s government go, the country will face a huge disaster. ...... The country will be caught in a complex civil war if the CA polls are not held in proper manner. ...... I doubt that the coalition will remain intact if the elections do not take place.

The PLA cannot be used in course of the people’s movement. But, anything can happen ...... The PLA may not remain inside the ‘cantonments’. It will come out. ....

Therefore, the Madhes problem is multidimensional. ............. We discussed about a tunnel war with India. I had prepared a document after studying the tunnel warfare of the Vietnam War. ....... There is a very deep-rooted relationship between Delhi and the Nepali Congress. Is that a secret? .......... That (12-point understanding) took place with the Indian government’s consent. .....
