Nepal lived one long year in political instability since House dissolution. What’s next?

In the summer of 2020, then prime minister KP Sharma Oli, with the intention of dissolving the House of Representatives, was on his way to meet President Bidya Devi Bhandari. No one in their right mind had thought that Oli, who was leading the erstwhile Nepal Communist Party that had won a two-thirds majority in the 2017 general elections, would do that; even the constitution had not given him the right to do so. What was strange was Oli did not even discuss the idea of dissolving the house within his council of ministers.

But, just before Oli was on his way, he was stopped by his chief political advisor Bishnu Rimal.
