Election results showed the ruling Nepali Congress party was leading on Wednesday and could emerge as the single largest group, said analysts who expect a hung parliament to give new political parties a decisive role in forming the government.
About 61% of roughly 18 million Nepalis voted in Sunday's elections for the 275 members of the Himalayan nation's parliament, where 165 seats will be decided on a first-past-the-post basis and the rest by proportional representation.
