Nepal parliament elects first female president
尼泊尔议会选出首任女总统
Nepal has its first ever female President, after the country's parliament elected Bidhya Bhandari to the position. She was previously the Vice Chairperson of the Unified Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Nepal. The election came after the Himalayan nation issued a new constitution on September the 20th.
Bhandari, now 54, replaces Ram Baran Yadav, who was appointed as the Nepal's first head of state, after the country became a federal democratic republic in 2008, ending a 240-year Monarchy. Bhandari has previously served as the country's defense minister. She defeated her opponent Kul Bahadur Gurung by 327 to 214 votes.
