Nepal President calls political parties to form new govt within 7 days

Kathmandu: President Bidya Devi Bhandari on Sunday called on all the political parties of Nepal to form a new government within seven days, as Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba discussed power sharing deal with the coalition partner Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda'.

The President’s call comes following the submission of a report by the Election Commission of the final results of the election of



members of the House of Representatives (HoR) and Provincial Assembly held on November 20.

As no single party got a majority in the HoR election, the President has called for submitting a claim by a member of the HoR who can garner a majority with support from two or more parties, as stipulated in the Article 76 clause 2 of the Constitution.
