LIVE: Polls close in Nepal's general election

Government

Nearly six months after a wave of unprecedented youth-led protests and the deaths of 77 people forced Nepal's then prime minister to quit, polls closed in a general election that will choose a ‌new parliament in Nepal. Perched between China and India, the country of 30 million people has been plagued for decades by political instability, crippling a largely agrarian economy and worsening unemployment — structural issues compounded by rampant corruption. #NepalElection #Nepal #Politics #
