KATHMANDU: CPN-UML Chairperson and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has reached the President’s Office, Shital Niwas, to meet President Bidya Devi Bhandari after wrapping up the party’s Standing Committee meeting held at PM’s official residence in Baluwatar Monday evening.

President Bhandari on the recommendation of PM Oli had dissolved the House of Representative (HoR) twice. However, the Supreme Court served a blow to both of them by reversing their decision and resinstating the HoR. Moreover, the apex court also ordered to appoint opposition leader Sher Bahadur Deuba the Prime Minister by 5 pm Tuesday.

Earlier, President Bhandari prorogued the National Assembly session, also on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers.

Meanwhile, the Standing Committee meeting was centered on devising strategy in the changed political context, meaning a 10-point pact inked by rival factions Sunday and Monday’s Supreme Court verdict against PM KP Oli’s move to dissolve the parliament.

The dispute resolution task force of the party Sunday signed a 10-point resolution that stated that UML would make an institutional decision in line with party rules and regulations on the matter of government and parliament dissolution.

The UML Central Committee meeting is called for Tuesday to endorse the 10-point unity agreement.
