KATHMANDU, June 7: Few Nepali politicians have been luckier than Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba. He led the government three times before reaching the prime of his political career.

It was a remarkable feat for a second-rung leader with his roots in the far-western region which until then was politically excluded.
