A coup d'état in Nepal began on 1 February, when democratically elected members of the country's ruling party, the Nepali Congress, were deposed by Gyanendra, King of Nepal. The parliament was reinstated in 2006, when the king agreed to give up absolute power following the 2006 revolution. The coup was condemned by India, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
