Nepal's interim government talks are deadlocked!
Although President Bidya Devi Bhandari agreed to have former Chief Justice Karki lead the interim government, the negotiations still cannot continue. The key bottleneck is whether the House of Representatives must be dissolved before Karki takes office, and there are differences among the parties on this issue.
Karki and protest leader Gurung insist that dissolving the parliament is a prerequisite for Karki's swearing-in, but according to the Nepalese constitution, the parliament can only be dissolved upon the request of the Prime Minister and with the approval of the President. Oli has already resigned, and Karki has not taken office, so no one has the authority to request the dissolution of the parliament.
President Bhandari insists that this process must be completed within the framework of the constitution, meaning that Karki should first take office as the interim prime minister, and then request the president to dissolve the parliament.
Both sides do not accept each other's positions, and this disagreement has led to a deadlock in the formation of the interim government.
