Legislative Branch Reform – 2006

Once the House of the Representative was reinstated, the government started to consult the Seven Party Alliance and the Maoists on a draft of the interim constitution. This process started before the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed on 21 November 2006. On 16 June 2006, the government of Nepal and the Maoists agreed to form an Interim Constitution Draft Committee (ICDC) and complete a draft interim constitution within 15 days. On 7 July 2006, the government asked the ICDC to begin its work. The committee submitted the draft for the interim constitution on 25 August 2006. However, the interim constitution was not adopted in 2006 and therefore an interim legislature was not established in that year.
