JSP Nepal to give vote of confidence to PM Oli

The Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Nepal has decided to give a vote of confidence to Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.

JSP Nepal's Spokesperson Manish Kumar Suman said that his party had already supported the present government, so it would vote for PM Oli in the trust vote.

"JSP Nepal will give a vote of confidence to PM Oli. The Parliamentary Party meeting will make an official decision in this regard tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," he informed.

CPN-UML Chairman Oli, who was appointed as the PM in accordance with Article 76 (2), is scheduled to seek a vote of confidence on Sunday.

Oli was appointed the PM with the backing of largest political party in the Parliament, Nepali Congress, after Maoist Center Chairman, the outgoing PM, Pushpa Kamal Dahal failed to secure a trust motion in the House of Representatives meeting last Friday.
