KEY POINTS:
Nepal's King Gyanendra has angrily denied speculation he will head into exile following a victory by former Maoist rebels in landmark elections.
A statement from the royal palace rejected what it said were "malicious reports appearing in sections of the national and international media in recent days against the royal palace." A palace source said: "The reports referred to are about his majesty going to India.
He will not be going anywhere. He is not going to leave the country." Nepal's Maoists say they intend to abolish the monarchy and have called on Gyanendra to leave the palace "gracefully".
