  6. Government Nepal’s Leader, Pushpa Kamal Dahal (a.k.a Prachanda) In November 1990 , King Birendra promulgated a new constitution and introduced a multiparty parliamentary democracy in Nepal. Under pressure and amid massive pro-democracy protests in April 2006, King Gyanendra gave up direct rule and reinstated Parliament, which then quickly moved to diminish the King’s power. In December 2007, Parliament voted to abolish the monarchy and become a federal democratic republic. The transition to a republic was completed in May 2008, when the Constituent Assembly voted to dissolve the monarchy. At this time the government stays at federal democratic republic.
