KATHMANDU, Sept 11: Following the Gen Z uprising, debate has intensified over whether parliament should be dissolved. Major parties such as the Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and Maoist Center have stressed the need to seek solutions within the constitution and parliamentary process.
Within the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), the fourth-largest party in parliament, two clear positions have emerged. Lawmaker Toshima Karki argued for immediate dissolution, saying the constitution has failed to ensure a stable government and only fueled coalition politics. She suggested constitutional amendments to introduce a directly elected executive head and scrap provincial governments.

On the other hand, lawmaker Sobita Gautam, with a legal background, opposed dissolution, saying parliament embodies people’s sovereignty and dismantling it would undermine democracy.
Meanwhile, RSP lawmaker Shishir Khanal acknowledged the weak legitimacy of both parliament and government, calling for a fresh mandate. However, he stressed that any solution must keep the constitution intact and work within its framework.
