Prime Minister Oli will take the vote of confidence on Sunday

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

Kathmandu – Prime Minister Oli will take the vote of confidence in Parliament on Sunday.

There is a legal provision that the Prime Minister should take a vote of confidence within 30 days of his appointment. But getting a vote of confidence sooner is better said Mahesh Bartaula, the ruling party’s chief whip, as it could be easier for the Prime Minister to get into the Parliament immediately and proceed with the work.

Nepali Congress, the largest party in the parliament, supports Oli, who became the prime minister by replacing the Prachanda-led government. Oli, who lost the Prime Minister by the Supreme Court’s order last time, might have to face the court’s decision again, as this time too a writ has been filed in the Supreme Court demanding the cancellation of his appointment.

Amidst the discussion that the court may pave the way for the formation of the government of the largest party under 76.3 of the constitution, Oli is going to take the vote of confidence on Sunday, keeping all these things aside.
