"My responsibility has increased...": Nepal PM after winning third floor test in 15 months

Updated:2 years, 3 months ago

Kathmandu (Nepal), March 14 (ANI): Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, after winning the vote of confidence in the Nepali Parliament for the third time in 15 months, said that he feels that his responsibility has further increased as the country is struggling to maintain political stability. The latest round of vote of confidence comes after a dramatic turn by Dahal, aka 'Prachanda', after he ditched the Nepali Congress to forge a communist alliance with the CPN-UML. PM Dahal secured 157 votes in favor, while 110 lawmakers voted against him. One of the lawmakers in the Nepali federal parliament abstained. A total of 268 votes were cast on Wednesday. Dahal, who has been losing his popularity and support in the parliament as he continues to take votes of confidence at certain intervals, lost 15 votes this time in comparison to last year's vote of confidence. Dahal has always been at the forefront of Nepali politics, as he manages to remain afloat in any sort of coalition. He had earlier in 2023 dumped CPN-UML within three months, aligning with the Nepali Congress. In that previous confidence motion, he had received a total of 172 votes, while the number of votes stood at 157 this time.
