The new Constitution is being trampled upon due to the political ambition of key players
On February 23, Nepal’s Supreme Court reinstated the House of Representatives, which had been dissolved by Prime Minister K.P. Oli on December 20, responding to an attempt to unseat him from his own parliamentary party in the lower house. After hearing more than a hundred lawyers from both sides, amidst a polarised political environment, the five-judge Constitutional Bench led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher J.B. Rana delivered a verdict that throws the ball back to the House.
Nepal s embattled Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli on Sunday challenged the ruling Nepal Communist Party s splinter faction led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda to remove him from the top post if he can. Addressing an event in his home district, Jhapa, Prime Minister Oli challenged the Prachanda-led faction to table a vote of no confidence motion and endorse that, My Republica newspaper reported. K P Oli is still the parliamentary party leader of the NCP. He is the party chairman as well as the prime minister, 69-year-old Oli said. If you have restored parliament, remove KP Oli from the prime ministerial post.
