Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda is all set to face a vote of confidence from the House of Representatives on July 12.
PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who remained steadfast in his refusal to resign, has opted to face a crucial vote of confidence.
He has now requested arrangements for the meeting of the House of Representatives. The prime minister sent a letter to the Parliament Secretariat asking to make arrangements for the vote of confidence.
The political drama erupted after the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML joined forces to form a new alliance. The Dahal-led government found itself in a position after both the political parties withdrew its support, effectively stripping the majority of the government.
Both the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML have called for Prime Minister Dahal’s resignation.
However, Prime Minister Dahal has cited his constitutional prerogative to seek a vote of confidence within 30 days as the basis for his decision to stay in office.
Notably, ever since assuming the office, Prime Minister Dahal has already faced four votes of confidence. The prime minister has also expressed his intention to address parliament on recent political developments, insisting that his statements be duly recorded.
