KP Sharma Oli was appointed Prime Minister of Nepal for a third time on 13 May 2021 by President Bidya Devi Bhandari, as a minority prime minister, as none of the opposition parties were able to form a majority government or lay their claim for it in the provided time frame.[1] Citing the provision mentioned in Article 76 (3) of the constitution, Oli, being the leader of the largest party in the House of Representatives, was re-appointed prime minister, requiring him to again prove a majority in the house within 30 days from his appointment. On 22 May 2021, House of Representatives was again dissolved for the second time within 6 months by a cabinet decision followed by approval of President with elections set to be held on 12 and 19 November in two phases.[2]

On 4 June 2021, the cabinet reshuffle took place when Mahantha-Mahato faction of PSP-N joined the government with 8 cabinet ministers and 2 state ministers while other 5 from UML. Bishnu Prasad Paudel, Raghubir Mahasheth and Rajendra Mahato were made Deputy Prime-minister.[3] While the previous expansion was yet to be clarified by the Supreme Court, Oli made yet another reshuffle and included 7 ministers from UML and 1 from PSP-N.[4] On 22 June, Supreme Court delivered a fresh blow to embattled Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli 20 removing recently appointed ministers.[5] It revealed a care-taker prime-minister can't make such change as per article 77(3) of Constitution of Nepal.[6]
