Constitution experts rule out another term for President Bidya Bhandari

Some UML leaders are insisting that the sitting President should be re-appointed to the post. The election for the next President is likely to take place by mid-February.

The Constitution of Nepal, 2015 only permits two terms of five years each to an individual to serve as the President of the country. As per the constitution, the current term of President Bidya Devi Bhandari is set to be completed in March. However, some of the leaders of CPN-UML are advocating another term for President Bhandari, according to a party insider.
