Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal is seeking a vote of confidence for the fourth time on May 20.
He is taking the vote of confidence after the Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal withdrew support to the government on May 13.
Speaker Devraj Ghimire’s press advisor Shekhar Adhikari informed that the PM has written to the federal Parliament Secretariat to make arrangements to seek a vote of confidence on May 20.
As per Article 100 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal, the PM should table a motion in HoR for the vote of confidence within 30 days if a political party in a coalition government withdraws its support to the Prime Minister.
CPN-UML, Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), CPN (Unified Socialist) and some other political parties in the HoR are the coalition members of the present government formed under the leadership of CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal.
