Kathmandu – Lawyers have reached the Supreme Court claiming that the appointment of KP Sharma Oli as Prime Minister is not legal.

After President Ramchandra Paudel appointed UML President Oli as the Prime Minister on Sunday according to Article 76 (2) of the Constitution, advocates Deepak Adhikari, Khagendra Prasad Chapagain, and Shailendra Kumar Gupta have approached the Supreme Court to file a petition demanding the cancellation of the appointment of Prime Minister Oli.

It is said in the writ, ‘After one article fails, it is the provision of the constitution to go to another article. According to Article 76 (2) of the Constitution, Prachanda was appointed as a member of the House of Representatives with the support of more than two parties represented in the House of Representatives and if he did not receive a vote of confidence, It is a constitutional arrangement that the government of 76 (3)should be made .’

It is mentioned in the writ that if two parties agree, it cannot go against the constitution,and according to the constitution, the president should go to the government formation process from the largest party in the parliament.
