2020–21 dissolution and reinstatement of the Parliament of Nepal

President Bidya Devi Bhandari dissolved the House of Representatives as per advice of the prime minister KP Sharma Oli on 20 December 2020. The sixth session of Federal Parliament abruptly ended on 9 July 2020. According to Article 93(1) of the Constitution, the interval between two sessions of parliament cannot exceed 6 months. Due to internal conflict in the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP), KP Sharma Oli recommended the dissolution before a no-confidence motion could be passed. However the dissolution was challenged in the Supreme Court of Nepal, which passed a verdict on 22 February 2021, reinstating the House of Representatives.
