Editing Gerrymandering (section)

===Nepal===
After the restoration of democracy in 1990, [[Politics of Nepal|Nepali politics]] has well exercised the practice of gerrymandering with the view to take advantage in the election. It was often practiced by [[Nepali Congress]], which remained in power in most of the time. Learning from this, the reshaping of constituency was done for constituent assembly and the opposition now wins elections.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023}}

In 2015, the government rewrote the [[Constitution of Nepal]], which included a rewriting of electoral boundaries. Parties in the southern region of [[Terai]] believe the new boundaries discriminated against marginalized groups, like the [[Madheshi people|Madhesis]], Tharus, and [[Janajati]]s, and that the boundaries "packed" the groups. Protesting occurred in Terai and other areas in southern Nepal, raising concern from across the country.<ref>{{Cite news |date=19 September 2015 |title=Why is Nepal's new constitution controversial? |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34280015 |access-date=8 December 2022}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=4 August 2017 |title='Gerrymandering' warned |url=https://kathmandupost.com/miscellaneous/2017/08/04/gerrymandering-warned |access-date=8 December 2022 |website=kathmandupost.com |language=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=1 June 2017 |title=Necessity or gerrymandering? {{!}} From the Nepali Press {{!}} Nepali Times |url=https://archive.nepalitimes.com/article/from-nepali-press/himalkhabar.com,%2023%20May,3740 |access-date=8 December 2022 |website=archive.nepalitimes.com |archive-date=8 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221208014716/https://archive.nepalitimes.com/article/from-nepali-press/himalkhabar.com,%2023%20May,3740 }}</ref>
