Nepal’s President Bidya Devi Bhandari on Sunday named CPN-Maoist Centre chairman Prachanda as the new Prime Minister of Nepal. Earlier, in a crucial meeting involving former prime minister KP Sharma Oli’s CPN-UML, CPN-Maoist Centre, Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RSP) and other smaller parties, the leaders agreed to form a government under the leadership of ‘Prachanda’.
There has been an understanding between Prachanda and Oli to lead the government on rotation basis and Oli agreed to make Prachanda Prime Minister first as per the latter’s demand. The new alliance has the support of 165 lawmakers in the 275-member House of Representatives in Nepal.
“As the largest party, the Nepali Congress failed to form a government under its leadership as per Article 76(2) of the Constitution within the president’s deadline. Now, the CPN-UML has taken the initiative to form the new government under the leadership of Prachanda with the support of 165 lawmakers,” Shankar Pokharel, CPN-UML general secretary, told reporters in Kathmandu after the meeting.
Nepali Congress is the largest party with 89 seats in the House of Representatives while CPN-UML and CPN-MC have 78 and 32 seats, respectively. No party in the 275-member House of Representatives has 138 seats required to form a government.
Ironically in 2021, Prachanda and Oli split, resulting in the fall of the government. Sher Bahadur Dueba came to power in Kathmandu, with support from Prachanda.
Earlier in the day, Prachanda walked out of the Nepali Congress led five-party alliance after Prime Minister and Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba rejected his bid to become the Prime Minister in the first round. Deuba and Prachanda had earlier reached a tacit understanding to lead the new government on a rotational basis.
