KATHMANDU, 26 May 2021, (TON): Nepal’s Supreme Court will hear writ petitions on Thursday and Friday 27 and 28 May, against the dissolution of the House of Representatives.

President Bidya Devi Bhandari dissolved the 275-member House of Representatives on Saturday 22 May for the second time in five months and announced snap elections on 12 November and 19 November 2021, on the advice of Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli, heading a minority government.

She rejected the bids of both embattled Prime Minister Oli and the Opposition alliance’s claims to form a government. Oli and Opposition leader Sher Bahadur Deuba had staked separate claims to the premiership.
