“We have decided not to support Oli’s confidence vote on Sunday,” Maoist Center’s Deputy General Secretary Barshaman Pun said after the meeting, adding, “We have reached a conclusion that forming a government under Article 76 (2), instead of Article 76 (3), is unconstitutional.”
PM Oli is scheduled to seek a confidence vote in the House of Representatives on Sunday.
