Although the Province Assembly had decided to hold voting on the no-confidence motion on Monday, the resignation of Chief Minister Pokharel a day before the scheduled vote has left the fate of the no-confidence motion uncertain.
A lawmaker belonging to the CPN (Maoist Center) said Pokharel had decided to tender resignation after he realized that he won't be able to face the no-confidence motion.
