Deuba secured 165 votes in his favour while 83 votes were cast against him. Likewise, in the process, one lawmaker remained neutral. Meanwhile, 249 lawmakers had participated in the voting process.

A total of 146 members of the House of Representatives (HoR) had reached out to Supreme Court with a writ petition to demand the restoration of the house and appoint Sher Bahadur Deuba, as the next prime minister on May 24.
