President Ram Chandra Paudel urged political cooperation for the upcoming House of Representatives elections set for March 5. The lower house faced dissolution at midnight Friday after Prime Minister Sushila Karki made the recommendation. Gen-Z protesters had demanded this action due to allegations of parliamentary corruption. Paudel described the resolution as a peaceful solution during a challenging period. Constitutional protections and democratic institutions remained preserved through this process.
Eight major political parties condemned the dissolution as unconstitutional and undemocratic. These parties argued the decision violated Article 76 of the Constitution and established legal precedents. The opposition groups demanded continuation of the current parliamentary system. Extended negotiations occurred between protest leaders, the president, and military officials. Political parties lobbied against dissolving the legislative body while demonstrators maintained their position.
Constitutional procedures required a prime ministerial recommendation before parliamentary dissolution could proceed. The debate centered on whether to appoint a new premier first or dissolve the house immediately. Karki received an appointment on Friday evening before recommending the dissolution. All necessary documentation had been prepared for either sequence of events. The house officially ended operations around midnight following proper constitutional protocols.
