The debate revolves around the significance of the constitution and parliamentary procedures in forming a government, or if the government can be formed from outside the parliament.
Once the issue was raised, the full bench will make a decision.
In accordance with Article 168 (5) of the constitution of Koshi State, a proposal of no-confidence against Chief Minister Kedar Karki was rejected in the State Assembly, and a new Chief Minister was appointed.
After appointing Hikmat Kumar Karki from the CPN-UML, questions were raised regarding his appointment while he continued to serve as Chief Minister.
