KATHMANDU, MAY 23
The opposition parties have decided to register a writ petition against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli's move to dissolve the House of Representatives (HoR) at the Supreme Court tomorrow morning.
The opposition alliance, which had planned to register the writ today, put off the procedure until tomorrow citing lack of adequate time today. According to a CPN-Maoist Centre leader, the petition will be filed at 10:00 am tomorrow.
Leaders of the alliance today were engaged in conducting meetings and collecting signatures of the lawmakers from Maoist Centre, Nepali Congress, Janata Samajbadi Party-Nepal, Rastriya Janamorcha and Madhav Nepal faction of the ruling CPN-UML.
According to a Maoist Centre leader, although the signature collection campaign has not ended, more than enough people have signed up to prove a majority.
President Bidya Devi Bhandari, in the wee hours of Saturday, dissolved the House of Representatives complying with the Cabinet's recommendation.
The President has called early elections, the dates being set for November 12 and November 19.
