6 | Despite reports [ne] of sporadic incidents of violence and concerted efforts by the dissident Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M) cadres throughout the country to disrupt the election process and implement their call for poll boycott (bandha) during the election period, voters in Nepal were enthusiastic and queued at polling centres in large numbers to cast their votes. | Na dia teo aza ny tatitra mitsitaitaika fisian'ny herisetra sy ny ezaka ataon'ny mpitarika avy amin'ireo mpisintaka ny Antoko Maoista - Komonista ao Nepal (CPN-M) manerana ny firenena hanakanana ny fizotry ny fifidianana sy ny antso hanaovana ankilabao ny biraom-pifidianana (bandha) mandritra ny fotoanan'ny fifidianana, Nafana fo ny mpifidy tao Nepal ka nilahatra maro dia maro teny amin'ny foibem-pifidianana haneho ny safidiny. |
7 | The administration, for its part, tried to ensure tight security on the election day. | Ny fitantanadanin'izany, niezaka ny hiantoka ny filaminana mandritra ny androm-pifidianana. |

12 | Interestingly, there was a lot of participation by women voters, who turned out in large numbers to vote. | Mahaliana ny mahita fandraisana anjaran'ny vehivavy, izay tonga maro tokoa hifidy. |

14 | Amazing long lines of #women voters. | Mahagaga ny halavan'ny filaharan'ny vehivavy mpifidy. |

17 | There was also a lot of enthusiasm among the elderly to cast their votes, many of them being septuagenarians and above. | Ilay 110 taona Dhan Kumari Gurung ohatra nandrotsa-bato tao amin'ny foibem-pifidianana ao Sundaridanda distrikan'i Kaski. |

25 | Throughout the country, not only was the turnout at the polling centres encouraging, but people also expressed happiness in being able to vote and hoped that this election would deliver where the last one failed. | Manerana ny firenena, tsy hoe mampavitrika ihany ny fandraisana anjaran'ny olona, fa mampiseho ny fahafaliany ihany koa izy ireo fa afa-nifidy sy manantena fa hanafaka azy ireo tamin'ilay iray tsy nahomby ity fifidianana ity. |
26 | The first Constituent Assembly was formed in 2008, two years after a bloody decade-long civil war between the country's Maoists and government came to an end. | Ny Antenimieram-Panorenana voalohany dia natsangana tamin'ny 2008, roa taona taorian'ny nifaranan'ny ady an-trano naharitra an-taonany maro nifanaovan'ny Maoista sy ny governemanta. |
27 | Nepal's monarchy was abolished shortly afterward, but the assembly failed to write a constitution, and after four years it was dissolved, plunging the diverse country into political crisis. | Nofoanana ny fitondram-panjaka tokana tao Nepal taoriana kelin'izany, saingy tsy nahavita nahasoratra lalampanorenana ny antenimiera, ary efa-taona taorian'izany dia nofoanana izany ka nahatonga ny firenena hilentika ao anatin'ny krizy politika maro isan-karazany. |

30 | Doubtful looking Elections was a success with the massive turnout. | Fahombiazana ilay fifidianana noheverina ho nampisalasala noho ny fahamaroan'ny fandraisana anjara. |
31 | Against the fear and threat we came out. | Tafavoaka avy ao amin'ny tahotra sy ny fandrahonana isika. |

34 | Encouraging number of female candidates The fate of 6,128 candidates in the First Past the Post (FPTP) and around 10,700 Proportional Representative (PR) categories will be decided today. | Hotapahina anio (19 novambra) ny hoavin'ireo kandidà 6.128 holaniana amin'ny dingana tokana ambony indrindra (FPTP) ary manodidina ny 10.700 ny sokajin'ny Solontena (PR) araka ny isam-bato azo. |
35 | As reported by nepalvotes.com, 127 political parties are in the fray with 12,147,865 eligible voters. | Araka ny notaterin'ny nepalvotes.com, antoko politika 127 no mifaninana avy amin'ny mpifidy afa-mifidy 12.147.865. |

39 | Confusing symbols While voters were busy casting their precious votes, they were likely to get confused by the election symbols which are similar if not taken carefully, reported Nepaliheadlines. | Raha misahirana ny mpifidy mandrotsaka ny vatony sarobidy, dia mety hisaritaka ihany ry zareo amin'ny fitovitovian'ny sary famantarana raha tsy mitandrina tsara, hoy ny tatitry ny Nepaliheadlines. |

43 | UCPN-Maoist's election symbol is a sickle and hammer inside a circle, while CPN-ML and CPN-United's symbols are sickle and a star, and sickle respectively. | Ny sary famantarana (sariohatra) ny UCPN-Maoista amin'ny fifidianana dia ny antsim-bilona sy ny maritoa anaty faribolana raha antsim-bilona sy kintana na antsim-bilona (fotsiny) ny sariohatry ny CPN-ML sy CPN-Tafaray. |
44 | Likewise, Madhesi Janadhikar Forum's election symbol is two hands poised for a Namaste, while Nepal Sadbhawana Party's symbol is a hand and Nepal Shanti Chhetra Parishad's symbol is two hands clapping. | Tahaka izany ihany koa ny sary famantarana ny Madhesi Janadhikar Forum dia sarintanana mivonona hanao Namaste (felatanana roa mikambana), raha sarintanana tsotra kosa ny an'ny Antoko Nepal Sadbhawana ary sarintanana mitehaka kosa ny famantarana ny Nepal Shanti Chhetra Parishad. |
45 | Rashtriya Prajatantra Party Nepal's symbol is a cow. | Sary famantarana ny Antoko Rashtriya Prajatantra ny ombivavy. |
46 | However, Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party's symbol is oxen and the symbol of Janatantrik Terai Madhes Mukti Tigers is oxen with cart. | Saingy, Sariohatra an'ny Antoko Terai Madhes Loktantrik ny omby (maro) ary famantarana ny Janatantrik Terai Madhes Mukti Tigers ny omby mitarika sarety. |
47 | More confusing are the symbols of Nepal Loktantrik Samajwadi Dal, Janata Party Nepal, Terai Madhes Pahad Himal Ekata Party and Jana Unity Cooperative Party Nepal. | Mbola mifangaro ihany koa ny sary famantaran'ny Nepal Loktantrik Samajwadi Dal, Antoko Janata, Antoko Terai Madhes Pahad Himal Ekata ary ny Antoko Jana Unity Cooperative. |
48 | They are a pen, a pen and an inkpot, a pencil, and a pen and a copy respectively. | Ny azy ireo dia penina, penina miaraka amin'ny tavoahangin-dranomainty, pensilihazo, ary penina miaraka amin'ny kahie. |
49 | Similar is the case of party symbols of Rashtrawadi Janata Party, Rashtriya Yatharthawadi Party Nepal, Nepal Samabeshi Party and Rashtrawadi Ekata Party. They are a bird, the national bird danfe, a parrot, and a pigeon. | Mitovitovy tahaka izany ihany koa ny sariohatry ny antoko Rashtrawadi Janata Party, antoko Rashtriya Yatharthawadi, antoko Nepal Samabeshi ary ny antoko Rashtrawadi Ekata. ny azy ireo dia vorona, ilay vorona manavaka ny firenena danfe, boloky ary voromailala. |
50 | Interesting candidates While the political parties are competing with each other in the electoral constituencies, the candidates of Bibeksheel Party (Sensible Party) are in the fray along with the political bigwigs in the four major constituencies of Kathmandu. | Kandidà Mahaliana Raha mifaninana any amin'ireny fari-pifidianana ireny ny antoko politika, dia mirotsaka mifaninana amin'ireo antoko goavana ao amin'ny fari-pifidianana efatra lehibe ao Kathmandu ny kandidàn'ny Antoko Bibeksheel (Antoko Misaina). |
51 | Interestingly, they have selected a dog (Kukur in Nepali) as their election symbol. | Ny mahaliana dia nisy nifidianan'izy ireo ny alika (Kukur amin'ny fiteny Nepali) ho sariohatry ry zareo amin'ny fifidianana. |
52 | According to The Kathmandu Post, “all of the four candidates from Bibeksheel hail from impressive entrepreneurial and educational backgrounds”. | Araka ny nolazain'ny Kathmandu Post, “ireo kandidà efatra avy amin'ny Bibeksheel ireo dia tsara taiza eo amin'ny sehatry ny fandraharahana sy ny fanabeazana avokoa”. |
53 | It is a tech-savvy group that has been making wide use of social media to engage the people, especially youth. | Vondrona mpahay teknolojia izy io ary nampiasa fatratra ny tambajotram-piarahamonina hisintonana ny olona, indrindra fa ny tanora. |
54 | In the past, the Bibeksheel group has played active role in organizing popular social campaigns like Occupy Baluwatar (a peaceful protest movement calling on the Nepali state to better address the widespread problem of impunity and gender-based violence), Entrepreneurs for Nepal, Nepal Unites and Die Banda Die (to end the ‘bandh' or shutdown culture in Nepal) etc. | Taloha ny vondrona Bibeksheel dia navitrika tamin'ny fanentanana ara-tsosialy malaza tahaka ny Occupy Baluwatar (Bodoy i Baluwatar izay hetsika milamina niantso ny fitondrana Nepali hamaha ny olan'ny fisian'ny tsimatimanota sy ny herisetra amin'ny vehivavy), Mpandraharaha ho an'i Nepal, Nepal Unites ary Die Banda Die (Matesa Banda Matesa= hamaranana hatreo ny ‘bandh' na fikatonan'ny kolontsaina ao Nepal) sns. |
55 | For the elections, the one-year-old Bibeksheel party used many innovative campaigning techniques, smileys, rickshaws with flags and of course a lot of social media. | Tamin'ny fifidianana, nampiasa tekinikam-pampielezan-kevitra vaovao maro ilay antoko Bibeksheel herintaona nijoroana, smileys, posiposy miaraka amin'ny saina ary nampiasa fatratra ny media sosialy mazava loatra. |
56 | There has been a lot of discussion [ne] about this group online, but it remains to be seen if these would have an actual impact on the voters and translated into votes. | Maro ny resadresaka momba ity vondrona ity amin'ny aterineto, saingy mbola jerena aloha raha misy fiantraikany tokoa amin'ny mpifidy izay hamadika azy ho vato izany rehetra izany. |
57 | Blogger Nepalikukur wrote in the online magazine La.Lit. that voting for the kukur (dog) symbol would be akin to registering a protest vote, but that it could also mark the beginning of a “genuine party of the people”. | Ny Bilaogera Nepalikukur dia nanoratra tao amin'ny gazety-boky an-tserasera La.Lit. fa ny fifidianana ny sariohatry ny kukur (alika) dia horaisina ho vatom-panoherana, saingy mety ho mariky ny fanombohan'ny “tena antokom-bahoaka” ihany koa. |
58 | Nepalis have given chances to Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and UCPN-Maoist each to rule the country. | Efa nanome fotoana ho an'ny Kongresy, ny CPN-UML ary ny UCPN-Maoista tsirairay avy hitondra ny firenena ny Nepalis. |
59 | However, none of them have been successful in satisfying the expectations of general public. | Saingy tsy nisy nahomby teo amin'ny fanomezana fahafaham-po ny hetahetan'ny mponina amin'ny ankapobeny izy ireo. |
60 | This time round, the Nepalis hope to elect a stable government who can draft a constitution and lead the country to prosperity. | Amin'ity indray mitoraka ity dia manantena hifidy governemanta mitombina tsra izay afa-mandrafitra lalampanorenana sy mitarika ny firenena ho amin'ny fahamaroan-karena ny Nepalis. |
61 | Now begins the wait for the winners and, more importantly, the constitution. | Manomboka ankehitriny ny fiandrasana izay ho mpandresy sy ny zava-dehibe kokoa, dia ny lalampanorenana. |
