UML defies top court precedent to form government in Gandaki

Nepali Congress, the largest party in the assembly, is set to challenge the province head’s decision to appoint Khagaraj Adhikari the chief minister.

In a clear breach of the Supreme Court’s precedent and the spirit of the Constitution of Nepal, Khagaraj Adhikari, a CPN-UML provincial assembly member, on Sunday became the chief minister in Gandaki.
