President Bhandari scraps Oli and Deuba’s claim for new govt formation, emergency Cabinet meeting underway

KATHMANDU: Though UML chair KP Sharma Oli and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba had staked claim (at President’s Office) for the new government formation under their leadership citing that they both have majority parliamentarians, President Bidya Devi Bhandari has said that none of the two can be appointed the next PM.

Issuing a press statement Friday midnight, President Bhandari has pointed that both Oli and Deuba’s claims do not seem justified.

Following the decision to this effect, PM Oli has called for emergency Cabinet meeting which is currently underway.
