A meeting of the Council of Ministers held on Friday midnight had decided to dissolve the House of Representatives (HoR) and hold mid-term elections. As per this decision, the government had submitted a recommendation to President Bidhya Devi Bhandari seeking dissolution of the HoR and the announcement of dates for mid-term elections.

Within a couple of hours of receiving the recommendation, the president had issued a statement announcing the dissolution of the HoR and the dates for the mid-term elections.

Former speakers Daman Nath Dhungana, Ram Chandra Poudel, Taranath Ranabhat, Subas Nembang, Onsari Gharti Magar, and Krishna Bahadur Mahara will be participating in the meeting.
