(24 News) After the defeat of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal in the motion of no confidence, the preparations for forming a new coalition government in Nepal have started.
Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, delivers a speech ahead of a vote of confidence in parliament in Kathmandu, Nepal, January 10, 2023. Dahal, 69, is a major ally of Pushpa Kamal Pran, the Liberal Communist United Marxist-Leninist. The Leninist (UML) party last week pressured KP Sharma Oli, a two-time prime minister, to withdraw support to either resign or prove his majority in parliament, at the end of June. A deal with the central Nepali Congress (NC) that secured enough seats for a majority means they are set to govern, but no date has been set for a new government.
Former Maoist rebel chief Pushpa Kamal Dahal needed at least 138 votes in his favor in the 275-member House to retain power. voted against and one abstained, Parliament Speaker Devraj Ghumire announced after counting the ballots that the vote of confidence sought by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal had been rejected. Nepal’s P Sharma Oli is set to form a new coalition government after Pushpa Kamal’s defeat, after 20 months of tumultuous rule, was defeated in a no-confidence vote, UML lawmaker Yogesh Bhattarai said. That the need for a new alliance was the need for political stability.
In his third term as prime minister, which began in December 2022, Dahal changed his main coalition partner three times and faced five confidence votes, which he lost on Friday, a speech before Friday’s vote said. I Pushpa Kamal Dahal said that Oli’s alliance of the two largest political parties is against the democratic process, NC is the largest party in Parliament and UML is the second largest party, adding that I am concerned that this is a regression. Can lead to favoritism and dictatorship,” said Dahal, whose Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Center) is the third largest party.
It should be noted that Nepal’s politics are closely watched by its two big neighbors, China and India, who have invested heavily in the Himalayan country because of their influence.
It should be noted that Nepal has been politically unstable since the end of the 239-year-old monarchy in 2008, the new government of KP Sharma Oli will be the 14th government since then.
