KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Oli has expressed the confidence of getting a vote of confidence from the House of Representatives.
Stating that he has become the Prime Minister by the strength of the Parliament, he hoped that this House would give the vote of confidence to make him the Prime Minister once again.
Prime Minister Oli sought a vote of confidence at the special session of the House of Representatives (HoR) Monday.
He urged all political parties, including the CPN Maoist Center to support his government.
Prime Minister Oli said there was no question of not putting trust in the incumbent government when it is resolving the problems one after the other, abiding by the Constitution in the letter and spirit.
PM Oli requires at least 136 votes to win the confidence motion.
The lawmakers close to Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction of the ruling CPN-UML have already decided to abstain from the voting.
Likewise, the Mahanta Thakur and Rajendra Mahato-led faction of the Janata Samajbadi Party has also decided to stay neutral.
Introducing a vote of confidence in the ongoing meeting of the House of Representatives, Prime Minister Oli urged the people to cast their vote of confidence on the basis of the work done by the present government.
Speaking on the occasion, PM Oli urged all political parties to stand for truth and not on the basis of disillusionment.
He said, “I am going to take a vote of confidence to prove that this House has faith in me.”
Prime Minister Oli sought a vote of confidence saying that his government had accomplished a lot – from safeguarding the country’s geographical integrity to ensuring good governance.
Prime Minister Oli also accused the opposition of falsifying his signature and spreading rumors of an agreement with the Chief of the Research and Analyses Wing. He said, “How can we sign on an unofficial document?”
Prime Minister Oli also said that the Constitution could be amended on the basis of necessity.
Stating that there was no dispute over the country’s sovereignty, he said that those who believed in secession have also joined the mainstream politics.
