KATHMANDU: Madhesh Province Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav is scheduled to take a vote of confidence today. A meeting of the Provincial Assembly has been called at 1 pm for the purpose.
Chief Minister Yadav is seeking the vote of confidence after the Janamat Party withdrew its support to the provincial government on May 4. The process, initially scheduled for May 15, was postponed earlier due to internal disagreements within the Nepali Congress and uncertainty from Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal.
Ahead of the confidence vote, the political equation in the province has shifted. The Nepal Communist Party has joined the government led by Yadav, while JSP Nepal has been left out of the ruling coalition.
Chief Minister Yadav has also dismissed three ministers from JSP Nepal and appointed UML leader Mohammad Samir as a minister without portfolio.
