The first house session was held on October 2 after the promulgation of the new constitution on September 20, which means the country should get a new president by the end of October.
The presidential candidate needs a minimum of 299 votes to win the race in the 598-member house. The newly elected president shall succeed Dr. Ram Baran Yadav who was picked on July 23, 2008 as the first president of the country after the abolition of the monarchy.
The Nepali parliament elected KP Sharma Oli of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninst) as prime minister on October 11 and Onsari Gharti Magar as Speaker on October 16 -- the first woman to grace the office in the Himalayan nation.
