"Earlier today, I had the honour of meeting with the Hon'ble Governor Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya Ji at Raj Bhawan. During our meeting, I submitted a formal proposal staking claim to form the government," Mr Tamang said on X.
He also said, "I am pleased to announce that the Hon'ble Governor has accepted this proposal, marking a significant step forward in our efforts to establish a new government."
