The Federal Parliament of Nepal is the federal and supreme legislative body of Nepal. It is a bicameral federal legislature that consists of the Rastriya Sabha as upper house and the Pratinidhi Sabha, as lower house.
The former Parliament of Nepal was dissolved by King Gyanendra in 2002, on the grounds that it was incapable of handling the Maoist rebels. The country's five main political parties have staged protests against the king, arguing that he must either call fresh elections or reinstate the elected legislature. In 2004, the king announced that parliamentary elections would be held within twelve months; in April 2006, in response to major pro-democratic protests, it was announced that Parliament would be reestablished.The current prime minister of Nepal is K.P. Sharma Oli.
After the success of the April 2006 people's movement, on January 15, 2007, the old parliament was dissolved and replaced by the 330-member interim legislature of Nepal. By the legislature an Interim Constitution was promulgated and a constituent assembly election was held in April 2008. The 601-member assembly on 28 May 2008 abolished the 238-year-old monarchy and declared the country a republic. The parliament constituent assembly, which was initially given two years to draft a new constitution, was dissolved on 27 May 2012 after its failure to draft a new constitution due to differences over restructuring the state.
The Legislature Parliament of Nepal was expired by 21 January 2018 (7 Magh, 2074 BS).
According to the Constitution of Nepal 2015 Nepal has a two chamber Parliament (संसद)
