A recent survey carried out by a non governmental organization has shown that majority of people are in favour of democratic republican set up in the country.
The latest survey conducted by Informal Sector Service Center in 56 districts said only a negligible number of respondents backed ceremonial monarchy and constitutional monarchy.
"About 88 per cent of the people surveyed by the INSEC in fifty-six districts opted for a democratic republican set-up," said chairman of INSEC Subodh Raj Pyakurel.
Only about five per cent are for constitutional monarchy while five per cent of the interviewed people favoured ceremonial monarchy.
Pyakurel however said that the people did not have much idea about the concept of ceremonial monarchy.
Similarly, 88 per cent of the interviewees were for inclusive democracy and political representation encompassing people from all walks of life.
About 17,000 people were surveyed by INSEC.
On the human rights front, about 92 per cent were for bringing the human rights violators to book, thereby giving justice to the victims of the decade-long conflict.
Speaking at an interaction organized to discuss about INSEC's findings Nepali Congress leader Arjun Narsingh KC said that INSEC's survey would help the government and political parties in their efforts to draft new constitution and restructuring the state.
Maoist leader Ek Raj Bhandari said the Maoists were committed to upholding and protecting human rights.
