Former US President Jimmy Carter passed away on Sunday at the age of 100. The Carter Center established in Nepal in 2004 to facilitate the peace process also observed the Constituent Assembly elections. Carter's role in Nepal was to scrap the Hindu monarchy and introduce an unbearable and non-functional political system based on the 2015 constitution. All the anomalies we are experiencing today are the result of the Carter Center's backdoor games.

Carter remains the only US President to have frequent visits to Nepal.

President Ramchandra Paudel, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and others have expressed sorrow over Carter's demise. In the social platform X, President Paudel expressed sorrow over Carter's death and noted that Carter's contributions to peace, human rights, and charity have become an inspiration to the world. President Paudel also extended his condolences to the bereaved family and the American people.

Accordingly, Prime Minister Oli expressed his condolences and recalled Carter's visit to Nepal in 2013. Oli praised Carter’s contributions and dedication to human rights, democracy, and peace. According to the US news agency Associated Press, Jimmy Carter, a peanut farmer who won the 39th presidency in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal and Vietnam War, endured a humbling defeat after one tumultuous term and then redefined life after the White House as a global humanitarian died at 100 years old.  He was elected as the 39th US president from the Democratic Party in the 1976 elections and served in the post from January 20, 1977 to January 20 1981. 

The longest-living American president died on Sunday, roughly 22 months after entering hospice care, at his home in the small town of Plains, Georgia, where he and his wife, Rosalynn, who passed away at 96 in November 2023, spent most of their lives, The Carter Center said.

Carter visited Nepal to support the peace process transition in 2007 and to observe the preparations and Constituent Assembly elections held in 2013. His visit was significant as it came during a crucial juncture of Nepal’s peace process.
