<p>Nepal&#8217;s former prime minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai, who led a popular movement to restore multi-party democracy in 1990, has died at 87.</p>
<p>His doctor, Bharat Rawat, said he died in the capital Katmandu, following multiple organ failure. He had suffered mainly from kidney problems.</p>
<p>Mr Bhattarai was admitted to Norvic hospital in Katmandu last month with health complaints.</p>
<p>He was appointed prime minister of the Himalayan nation twice &#8211; first in 1990 and again in 1999.</p>
<p>After multi-party democracy was restored in 1990, Mr Bhattarai was appointed prime minister of an interim government comprising representatives from his Nepali Congress party and several communist parties.</p>
<p>During his nine months in power, he conducted Nepal&#8217;s first free elections in 30 years and enforced a new constitution that guaranteed democratic rights in the country.</p>
<p>In 1999, he again became prime minister after the Nepali Congress party won elections. However, feuds in the faction-ridden party forced him to step down after nine months in power.</p>
<p>His strict anti-corruption drive gave him the image of a clean politician and his anti-nepotism stand also helped him gain popularity among the public.</p>
<p>Mr Bhattarai spent nearly 14 years in prison for opposing the autocratic system imposed in the country in 1960.</p>
<p>The government has declared a period of national mourning. Mr Bhattarai&#8217;s body will be cremated in Katmandu.</p>
