Earlier, on April 21, the Cabinet had recommended calling a session of the federal parliament, which the President scheduled for April 30. However, the government later advised postponing the session on April 23, and the session was subsequently deferred.
The latest move to introduce ordinances comes amid preparations for constitutional appointments. The Constitutional Council, which recommends such appointments, consists of six members: the Prime Minister, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chairperson of the National Assembly, Deputy Speaker, Chief Justice, and the Leader of the Opposition.
With the recent selection of Bhishmaraj Angdembe as the parliamentary party leader of the Nepali Congress, the council is now complete.
