I am not sure if this election was held in a timely manner after the signing of historic peace accord in November 2006 which has been postponed at least one time before. Nevertheless, it's an auspicious day for all Nepalese that this event took place.

As Girija was chosen to head the Interim Government, it falls under his job duties to make this happen. He might have just met or might have even exceeded the people's expectation. Now Girija along with prominent leaders since the Jana Andolan days of 1990 are pretty guaranteed to die natural deaths before long their surviving family members pounce upon the loots they accumulated during their respective rules. No wonder Girija felt it was one of the happiest days of his life. I am certain other former supreme leaders in command must have felt the same.

No matter who emerges as the victor of this election it is imperative that rules of law is re-established and abided by,  a  democratic society is raised and path to peace and economic prosperity is adopted.

That's all I have in my wish-list for now.
