Interim Government Led by Sushila Karki to Summon First Session of Federal Parliament

Kathmandu. The first session of the Federal Parliament, formed by the elections held on Falgun 21, is set to be summoned by the current interim government led by Sushila Karki. Karki has called a cabinet meeting on Friday to summon the first session of the Federal Parliament.

A minister stated that he received information that a cabinet meeting was called to summon the session of the Federal Parliament. "The cabinet meeting has been called today to summon the session of the Federal Parliament," the minister said, "Actually, the new government should summon the session, but the parties are adamant that the session should be summoned on Chaitra 16. The oath-taking ceremony for the newly elected members of parliament is fixed for Chaitra 12. When summoning a parliamentary session, a seven-day notice period must be given. Therefore, this government has been compelled to summon the session."

The minister indicated that the session would be summoned for Chaitra 16. Previously, there was confusion over whether the interim government or the new government would summon the session. An official from the Federal Parliament Secretariat informed that the Secretariat has been informally notified by the government to make preparations as the session is likely to be summoned for Chaitra 16.
