following the declaration of the federal republic, an election was held for the constituent assembly that would draft a new constitution. a period of instability followed; with changing governments, and various nationalist movements and popular protests demanding for ethnic autonomy; the political deadlock meant the constituent assembly failed to adopt a constitution within the stipulated time. the constituent assembly was dissolved in may 2012. a second election for a new constituent assembly was held in 2013 under a non-partisan government led by former chief justice khil raj regmi. on 25 april 2015, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck nepal followed by a 7.3 magnitude aftershock two weeks later, causing a combined death toll of 8,500, about 21,000 injuries and material loss amounting to a third of the country's annual gross domestic product. the constitution of nepal, passed with a 90% majority was announced in 20 september 2015 making nepal a federal democratic republic divided into seven unnamed provinces. it was, however, rejected by the madhesi nationalist parties, who intensified their protests, leading to an unofficial economic blockade by the government of india. by february 2016, an amendment had been agreed between india and nepal, and the madhesis slowly backed down after it was passed by parliament. the elections for the local, provincial and federal levels of government were held in 2017 and nepal communist party emerged as the ruling party with a strong majority at the federal level, as well as six of the seven provinces.
