General elections were held in Nepal on 12 May 1991, to elect 205 members to the House of Representatives. The elections were the first multi-party elections since 1959. The 1990 Nepalese revolution successfully made King Birendra to restore a multi-party system after King Mahendra had established the Rastriya Panchayat when he dissolved the parliament in December 1960.[1][2]

Although the Nepali Congress won the most seats, its leader Krishna Prasad Bhattarai lost in his own constituency, Kathmandu 1. Communist leader Madan Kumar Bhandari was elected in both Kathmandu 1 and Kathmandu 5, vacating the latter.

Aftermath

Following the result of the election, Nepali Congress came to power and Girija Prasad Koirala became Prime Minister.[3] The house met for the first time in May 1991. Daman Nath Dhungana served as the Speaker of the House.[4] The parliament could not complete its full five-year term with Koirala asking King Birendra to dissolve the house in July 1994 after losing a no-confidence motion with some member of his own party voting against him.[5][6]
