There is the debate on whether the PM’s move to dissolve the House was constitutional or unconstitutional. Now, it has become the issue of the Court’s consideration. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s rival factions claim he has no right to dissolve the House.
PM Oli, after failing to manage intra-party dispute chose the way to dissolve the House. President Bidya Devi Bhandari also promptly okayed the PM’s recommendation, pushing the country into uncertainty. Now the entire nation has divided into two groups with a larger section opposing the House dissolution move and a smaller group loyal to Oli and those who are in lucrative posts are supporting the dissolution.
Those, in favour of Oli claim that as the nation has adopted the Westminister model, the PM has the prerogative to dissolve the House.
The Prime Minister has been making a claim that the House dissolved by the powerful PM cannot be reinstated.
Meanwhile, it is rumoured that the PM decided to dissolve the House after getting a green signal from a few justices of the SC. Formation of the Constitutional Bench having junior justices by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana also supports this claim.
Also, it is said that PM Oli toke such a move after consultation with NC president Sher Bhadur Deuba. Oli has been in close contact with Deuba for that.
