KATHMANDU: Nepal’s President dissolved the House of Representatives on Saturday for the second time in five weeks and declared snap elections in November, rejecting both embattled caretaker Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli and also the opposition alliance’s promises to produce a government, a movement that’ll be lawfully challenged once again.

The surprise statement comes following a presidential announcement said Oli, nor resistance leader Sher Bahadur Deuba managed to demonstrate that a majority to form a new administration from the Friday deadline set by President Bidya Devi Bhandari.

According to Article 76(7) of this constitution, a date to run another election in six months also have to be corrected.

“The president has arranged the very first stage of polls on November 12 and the next stage on November 19,” a presidential statement said.

It stated the decision had been made to the recommendation of the cabinet led by Oli to decode the 275-member home.

“It has been noticed that Oli relied those lawmakers because his assistants that extended aid to the opposition alliance,” Bhandari said on Friday.

The president’s statement plunged Nepal into additional political tragedy a glimpse of her December 2020 conclusion when she dissolved the House in Oli’s recommendation.

The Supreme Court had annulled the movement in February.

The opposition says Oli, who’d dropped a vote of confidence that month, does not have any lawful authority to advocate that the dissolution of the parliament.

Five opposition leaders said in a joint announcement that the PM had driven the nation to a severe problem in some period when people were dying and suffering because of the outbreak.

The president failed to follow her inherent duty of appointing a new PM on the grounds of this constitutional claim according to Article 76 (5) of this constitution together with signatures of bulk lawmakers, the joint statement said.

“Rather she sided Oli using malafide intentions and dissolved parliament in an assault on the Church and ministry,” it stated.

The opposition condemned the move as”unconstitutional, undemocratic and random”.

The announcement was signed by Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba, CPN-Maoist Centre seat Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, CPN-UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal, Janata Samajbadi Party-Nepal’s Upendra Yadav along with Rastriya Janamorcha’s Durga Paudel.

Prakash Sharan Mahat of the opposition Nepali Congress said they will establish a political and legal struggle against the movement.

The opposition alliance is devising a new plan to approach the Supreme Court on Sunday demanding to refuse the president’s determination.

Nepal’s political crisis took a remarkable twist on Friday since Oli and the resistance parties staked different claims for the creation of a new administration by submitting letters of support from lawmakers to president.

Oli asserted the aid of 121 lawmakers from his party CPN-UML along with 32 lawmakers of both Janata Samajbadi Party-Nepal (JSP-N) due to his reappointment as PM.

According to the announcement in the president’s office, 26 lawmakers of this CPN-UML and12 MPs of their Janata Samajbadi Party had supported both Oli and Deuba.

Oli, 69, states new polls could finish the political nightmare of months.

Election can be held even though the stunt,” he said on Friday.
