The Maoists, who won 32 seats in the Federal Parliament elections by making an alliance with the Nepali Congress (NC), formed the government with the UML after the elections.
Dahal, who became the Prime Minister on December 25, 2022, had succeeded in forming a power alliance with the NC by agreeing to make Ram Chandra Paudel the President a year ago.
At that time, NC, CPN (Unified Socialist) and other parties accepted Dahal as the Prime Minister in the government saying that they had joined the Left Democratic Alliance.
Besides, the scheduled meeting of the House of Representatives has been postponed following the latest political developments.
An official from the Parliament Secretariat confirmed that the HoR meeting has been postponed to 11 am on Thursday, March 7.
Initially set for 11 AM on Monday, a meeting of the House of Representatives had the agenda of an address by PM Dahal. With the meeting adjourned, the Prime Minister's address program has been automatically suspended.
