The Rastriya Swatantra party has reinstated Rabi Lamichhane as party chairman after he reacquired Nepali citizenship.
An ongoing party central committee meeting on Sunday elected Lamichhane as party chairman, according to Rastriya Swatantra Party leader Deepak Bohara.
Lamichhane also lost his post as head of the Rastriya Swatantra Party after the Supreme Court ruled on Friday that he was ineligible to become a lawmaker.
Lamichhane re-acquired Nepali citizenship from the Kathmandu District Administration Office on Sunday.
The party had appointed the party’s deputy chairman, Dol Prasad Aryal, interim chairman on Friday.
