History

Formation

On 12 July 2021, the constitutional bench of the Supreme Court ruled that the President's decision to dissolve the House of Representatives on the recommendation of the Council of Ministers was unlawful and ordered the appointment of Deuba as prime minister within 28 hours.[5] President Bhandari appointed Deuba as the Prime Minister in accordance with Article 76 (5) of the Constitution of Nepal, and he was sworn in for a fifth term on 13 July 2021.[7] [8]

Four ministers took their oath of office alongside Deuba.[9] The full cabinet was formed on 8 October 2021.[10]

Vote of confidence

On 18 July 2021, Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Gyanendra Bahadur Karki, registered a proposal for vote of confidence in the first meeting of reinstated House of Representatives. Out of 249 lawmakers present in the meeting, Deuba received support of 165 lawmakers with 83 against while one abstained.[11] Deuba received votes from the CPN (Maoist Centre), the People's Socialist Party, Nepal and a faction of the CPN (UML). The PSPN, collectively voted for Deuba despite internal split within the party.[12]

Reactions

The ambassador of the United States to Nepal, Randy Berry, was the first diplomat to congratulate Deuba, visiting Deuba at his residence with congratulatory messages on 14 July. Earlier, he had congratulated Deuba, within an hour of his appointment, via a tweet.[13]

The Indian ambassador to Nepal, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, visited Deuba at his residence on 14 July to congratulate him on his appointment.[14] [15] The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, congratulated Deuba via a tweet on 18 July, after Deuba had won the vote of confidence.[16] The two prime ministers had a telephonic conversation on 19 July, where they vowed to "work together to further enhance the wide-ranging cooperation between India and Nepal, including in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic."[17]

The Israeli ambassador to Nepal, Hanan Goder-Goldberger, visited Deuba at Singha Durbar on 15 July, stating he was "hopeful of Nepal–Israel relations to get stronger" during Deuba's tenure.[18]

The Chinese ambassador to Nepal, Hou Yanqui, visited Deuba at Singha Durbar on 20 July, where she announced the grant of an additional 16 lakh doses of the COVID-19 vaccines to Nepal.[19]

Apart from these, Deuba received congratulatory remarks from the heads of government and diplomats of other countries.

Division of ministries among coalition parties and cabinet expansion

Intra-party matters of the four parties in the governing coalition delayed the allotment of ministries and resulted in the fulfillment of the cabinet 85 days after the prime minister taking office. Being the largest party in the coalition, Nepali Congress was apportioned eight ministries and one state minister, excluding the prime minister. CPN (Maoist Centre) was apportioned five ministries and one state minister, while CPN (Unified Socialist) and People's Socialist Party, Nepal were apportioned four ministries each, with the former also given one state minister.[20]

After all negotiations failed, Dahal broke away from the electoral alliance and approached the CPN (UML), which supported his nomination for prime minister, alongside the Rastriya Swatantra Party, Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Janamat Party, PSPN and other independents.[21] President Bhandari appointed Dahal the next prime minister the same day, and he was sworn in for a third term the day after.[22] [23]
