KATHMANDU, July 18: Ram Kumari Jhakri, a lawmaker belonging to the Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction of the CPN (UML) has said that it is the duty of all lawmakers of the faction to give a vote of confidence to Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba. 

Jhakri expressed her views over social media, stating that the Prime Minister should be given the vote of confidence for a full term of the House of Representative.

“We have supported the honourable member of the Federal Parliament Sher Bahadur Deuba as per Article 76(5) of the constitution. The president did not appoint anyone despite the support of 149 people, which led 146 people to knock at the doors of the Supreme Court,” Jhakri said. “It is our duty to give a vote of confidence to the government and the prime minister formed after the order issued by the Supreme Court,” she added

“The CPN-UML should take an institutional decision to sit on the floor and vote in the favour of the vote of confidence. If not, let us all be cautious and vote for PM Deuba so that parliament completes its full term,” Jhakri said.
