SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Constituent Assembly Chairman Kul Bahadur Gurung said since the assembly failed to give one of the three presidential candidates 298 of the 594 eligible votes, the election will now move into a runoff Monday.

Meanwhile, former supreme court justice Parmananda Jha did receive enough votes to be elected Nepal's vice president in the first election since the end of the nation's monarchy, CNN said.

The Press Trust of India said Nepali Congress candidate Ram Baran Yadav came close to earning the presidential seat, earning 294 votes from the assembly.

Maoist party candidate Ram Raja Prasad Singh received 282 votes despite early predictions he likely would win the election.

The Press Trust said Singh's bid fell short after an alliance was formed between the Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist to stop the former rebel group from winning the presidency.
