KATHMANDU: Amidst the political turmoil, the parliamentary party of Nagarik Unmukti Party has issued a directive to its lawmakers to vote in favor of Chief Minister Kamal Bahadur Shah in the upcoming vote of confidence in Sudurpaschim Province.

Scheduled for Thursday, the vote of confidence has sparked internal conflict within the party, as Chairman Ranjita Shrestha had initially issued a whip instructing lawmakers to oppose the Chief Minister.
