KATHMANDU, 2 May 2021

Prime Minister KP Sharma will seek a vote of parliamentary confidence, he shared at the meeting of Council of Ministers held today.

For the same, the government has decided to call the monsoon session of the House of Representatives on May 10.

His decision comes amid the current chaotic state of political affairs in the country that emerged since the Prime Minister’s move to dissolve the House of Representatives in December last year.

It has been learnt that the Prime Minister is currently in a quick consultation with President Bidya Devi Bhandari, the cabinet meeting to be continued upon his return, to discuss his decision and to recommend her to summon the House session.

In the recent times, ruling CPN-UML’s ‘by default’ coalition partner CPN-Maoist Centre has been talking of withdrawing support to the government while failing to take a decision on the same. On the other hand, main opposition party Nepali Congress has been engaging in dialogues with various political parties in a bid to file a no-trust motion against the Oli-government, and to form a government under its leadership.
