The leader of Nepal's Maoists has formally announced that the parallel government set up by the rebels during their insurgency has been dissolved.

The declaration was made by the Maoist leader, Prachanda.

The move comes after Maoists joined other parties in parliament, with elections due to be held in June.

"As per the agreement reached with the government, our party declares that the people's governments and people's courts run by our party in the past have been dissolved from today," Prachanda said.

Nepalese Maoists enter parliament

The rebels are joining mainstream politics for the first time. Maoist rebels have taken their seats in a new interim parliament in Nepal under a historic deal ending 10 years of war.

Top rebel leaders watched from the public gallery as 83 Maoist MPs took the oath in the 330-seat assembly.
Earlier, the house unanimously backed a new interim constitution, paving the way for the rebels to enter parliament.
The historic move is one of a series of measures to bring the rebels into the fold after last year's peace deal. The 10-year insurgency cost 13,000 lives.
