Aftermath
Following the result of the election, Nepali Congress came to power and Girija Prasad Koirala became Prime Minister.[4] The house met for the first time in May 1991. Daman Nath Dhungana served as the Speaker of the House.[5] The parliament could not complete its full five-year term with Koirala asking King Birendra to dissolve the house in July 1994 after losing a no-confidence motion with some member of his own party voting against him.[6][7]
