Former Nepali Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, a leading figure in Nepal's transition from monarchy to republic, died on Saturday in what the Maoists called a loss for the fragile peace process.

Koirala, a six-time prime minister, died at the age of 86 at his daughter's home in Kathmandu, where thousands of supporters had gathered. One of his doctors told Reuters he had died of a chest infection.
