NC withdraws support given to PM Dahal, govt to seek vote of confidence within 30 days



KATHMANDU: The Nepali Congress (NC) Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting, held at party President Sher Bahadur Deuba’s residence, has resolved to retract the support previously provided to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’.

According to NC Joint General Secretary Badri Pandey, the decision to withdraw support from Prime Minister Dahal’s government was taken during the meeting, which commenced an hour later than the scheduled time.

With this move, the Prime Minister is mandated to seek a vote of confidence within the next 30 days.

Prime Minister Dahal’s unexpected decision to revive a coalition with the CPN-UML on Sunday evening had caught the largest coalition partner, NC, off guard.

The newly formed ruling coalition now includes the CPN-UML, CPN-Maoist Center, Rastriya Swatantra Party, and Janata Samajwadi Party.
