The head of the victorious party in Nepal's election hailed its landslide triumph as a "win for the country" on Wednesday, urging new lawmakers to deliver for people who "sacrificed their blood" in last year's protests.

The March 5 polls elected a new 275-seat lower house of parliament, with 165 members chosen directly and 110 through proportional representation.
