Hitraj Pandey, chief whip of the CPN-Maoist Centre, said the decision was taken by top leaders of the ruling coalition at a meeting held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar.
Nepal’s top politicians said on Saturday that Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ needed to win another vote of confidence in the House of Representatives after a party in the ruling coalition withdrew support to the government. Hitraj Pandey, chief whip of the CPN-Maoist Centre, said the decision was taken by top leaders of the ruling coalition at a meeting held at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar. The meeting was attended by top leaders of the five-party alliance, including Prachanda, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, CPN-Unified Socialist President Madhav Kumar Nepal and Janata Samajwadi Party President Upendra Yadav.
Pandey told PTI that the Prachanda-led government has a sufficient majority in the 275-member House of Representatives despite Ravi Lamichhane-led Rashtriya Swatantra Party withdrawing support to the government. He said that this is the reason why the Prime Minister needs to get a vote of confidence again in the House of Representatives. The Rashtriya Swatantra Party on Friday withdrew support to the government after talks with Prachanda over power-sharing failed, alleging that the Prachanda government had failed to root out corruption. The RSP is the fourth largest party in the Parliament of Nepal with 22 members.
