Nepal's Political Parties Must Respect Election Result, UN Says
By Paul Tighe
April 22 (Bloomberg) -- Nepal's political parties must respect the result of the country's first multiparty elections since 1991, the United Nations Security Council said, as the communist former rebels look set to win most seats in parliament.
Parties must ``respect the will of the people and the rule of law in the coming weeks as the results are being counted,'' the Security Council said in a statement in New York yesterday.

Peace Process
``The peace process is not yet complete by any means,'' Ian Martin, the UN's special representative in Nepal, said yesterday. ``Rather than inviting political conflict, this is an opportunity to develop an inclusive and participatory process for making key decisions about the future of Nepal.''
All political parties have indicated they accept the results of the election and the formation of a new government while the National Assembly drafts a new constitution, the UN cited Martin as saying in remarks to Nepal's national daily Gorkhapatra newspaper.
