Well now everybody seems to be rallying around the name "Ramraja Prasad Singh" as the 1st president of new Nepal. I dont know much about him except he was accounted for bombing some king's convoy in 2042. I think overwhelming support for his name is the result of our psychic-consciousness towards madesh and madeshi rights that have been embedded in our subconcious mind ever since the madesh movement. His nomination may lead the madesh aandolan from wilderness to a logical end, unthreatening to national sovereignty. But the risk of him being just another rubber-stamp, on the back-drop of his political inexperience and lack of broad-based political affiliation, can't be ruled out. Because he has no mass appeal, he is just single and he has no such political charisma could hinder his political decisions and actions to be taken at the time of national political crisis. No doubt his appointment will be a great milestone in making madeshi people feel inclusive towards the national process and helps in bringing them into the national main-stream making them feel less marginalised.  But he will be judged by how much he will try to bring disgruntled armed madeshi group into the negotiating table and how will he help bring the traitors ,who have burned the national flag in the past as a protest, into the court of justice.

Let's give him the benefit of doubt for now.....................
