Karnali province CM Kandel secures vote of confidence
CM Kandel will be taking the vote of confidence as per Article 118 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal. This will be the second time CM Kandel takes a vote of confidence during his tenure.
The change was prompted by the CPN (Maoist Center) withdrawing its support for the government led by CM Kandel following a change in the central government.
The Karnali Provincial Assembly, which consists of 40 members, is currently composed of 14 members from the Nepali Congress, 13 from the CPN (Maoist Center), 10 from the CPN-UML, and one each from the CPN (Unified Socialist), Rastriya Prajatantra Party, and Swatantra Party.
Kandel now seeks a vote of confidence to form a new government with the support of the Nepali Congress (NC).
