Oli resigned from the post of Nepal's caretaker prime minister earlier in the day. The five-member constitutional bench, led by Chief Justice Cholendra Shumsher Rana, said that Oli’s claim to the post of prime minister was unconstitutional. Following this, Deuba reportedly wrote to the president that he will not take the oath until the error is rectified. In the past, Deuba had served as the prime minister of the country four times -- June 2017–February 2018, June 2004–February 2005, July 2001–October 2002 and September 1995–March 1997. With Deuba's appointment today, he would have 30 days to seek vote of confidence and prove majority to survive as prime minister for the remaining term of Parliament.
