Kathmandu ¨C Nepal votes in key elections on Thursday, six months after youth-led anti-corruption protests toppled the government, killed at least 77 people and left parliament in flames.
It was the country¡¯s worst violence since a decade-long civil war ended in a 2006 peace deal that abolished the monarchy and brought Maoist insurgents into government.
Protests stemmed from public frustration at corruption, economic stagnation and an aging political elite seen as out of touch.
