President calls for formation of new government

President Bidhya Devi Bhandari has called a Member of Parliament (MP) for claiming premiership with the support of two or more than two political parties by 13 May.

Issuing a press statement, Assistant Spokesperson at the Office of the President Keshav Prasad Ghimire said that President Bhandari has given the deadline of 9:00 pm on Thursday (13 May) for furnishing the claim by a MP for the appointment as the Prime Minister with the backing of two or more than two political parties as per the Article 76 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal.
