The Chief Ministers of Lumbini Province and Bagmati Province, who were in the minority after the change in the central equation, have resigned today.

Bagmati Chief Minister Shalikram Jamkattel and Lumbini Province Jokh Bahadur Mahara have resigned from their posts today.

After UML withdrew its support, the Chief Minister of Lumbini Province Mahara resigned from the post while addressing the Provincial Assembly after it was confirmed that the vote of confidence would not be passed even though there was an agenda to take the vote of confidence today. After his resignation, CPN-UML is preparing to submit a claim for the Chief Ministership. UML chief whip Tulsi Prasad Chaudhary has informed us that there has been an agreement between the two parties to advance the leader of the UML parliamentary party, Leela Giri, to the position of Chief Minister.

Similarly, in Bagmati Province, Chief Minister Shalikram Jamkattel filed a proposal in the Provincial Assembly Secretariat for the purpose of obtaining a vote of confidence, but the Maoist Center Bagmati Province Parliamentary Party meeting suggested him to resign as Congress and UML have a clear majority to form the government. Bahadur Sinlama from Congress is becoming the chief minister in Bagmati province. Signatures of MPs of Congress and UML have been collected to submit claims for government formation.
