KATHMANDU: CPN-UML lawmakers close to the Madhav-Jhalanath faction are holding what they said “crucial” meeting today morning to discuss today’s session of the parliament.
The disgruntled lawmakers are holding the meeting at the Federal Parliament Secretariat, Singha Durbar.
Prime Minister KP Oli is seeking a vote of confidence in the Federal Parliament this afternoon.
On Sunday, the lawmakers close to the Madhav-Jhalanath faction had in a six-point proposal to party Chairman and Prime Minister Oli given a deadline of 9 am on Monday to mend his ways.
The meeting will focus on the resignation as the deadline given to the party chair Oli to address the demands of the faction has also elapsed by.
“The party chair has not addressed the six-point demands floated by the Nepal-Khanal faction. The meeting will focus on whether to resign or not. We will move ahead by tendering our resignations,” said lawmaker Bhawani Khapung, who is close to the Nepal-Khanal faction.
A special session of parliament convened by Prime Minister Oli to seek a vote of confidence is being held this afternoon at 1 pm.
Hence, Prime Minister Oli is unlikely to receive a vote of confidence from the disgruntled faction of his own party.
