Preview of Nepal's parliamentary elections

Nepal's parliamentary elections on Sunday are the fourth since the Himalayan nation abolished a centuries-old monarchy.

Nepal's current Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, 76, has been in the position five times. Both prominent leaders of the communist parties, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, 67, and Khadga Prasad Oli, 70, have been prime minister twice each.

Nepal's next government, likely a coalition, will face the challenges of keeping a stable political administration, reviving the tourism industry and balancing relations between the giant nations that neighbor the tiny country.
