KATHMANDU: Madhesh Province Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav is set to seek a vote of confidence in the Provincial Assembly on November 14.
Yadav is preparing to seek the vote after his coalition partners, the CPN-UML and Nepali Communist Party (NCP), withdrew their support.
The Chief Minister said on Wednesday that he would seek the vote of confidence at 1 p.m. on November 14. He added that the Madhesh Provincial Assembly Secretariat would be formally requested to convene a meeting for the purpose.
Yadav said he was holding talks with various political parties to secure their support and that the dialogue would continue until the vote of confidence.
Four ministers from the CPN-UML, which was part of the Nepali Congress-led government, collectively resigned on October 11 and withdrew their party’s support for the government.
Similarly, four NCP ministers resigned on November 6 and withdrew their party’s support.
Following the withdrawal of support by the two parties, Chief Minister Yadav has stepped up efforts to save his government.
Yadav needs a majority of 54 in the 107-member Madhesh Provincial Assembly to save his government.
The Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Nepal is the largest party in the provincial assembly with 27 members, while UML has 23, NC 22 and NCP 15. Similarly, Janamat Party has 12 members, while the Federal Socialist Party and the Rastriya Prajatantra Party have one member each.
