In a recent session at the House of Representatives, Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as 'Prachanda', successfully secured a vote of confidence for the fourth time since resuming his position in December 2022. Amidst the proceedings, the opposition Nepali Congress expressed their disapproval and called for an investigation into Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Rabi Lamichhane, who is suspected of mishandling deposits in cooperatives.
According to reports from Xinhua news agency, Dahal faced some resistance during the vote, but ultimately emerged victorious with the support of 157 out of the 158 participating lawmakers. Dev Raj Ghimire, the speaker of the lower house, declared that this majority vote was enough to secure the Prime Minister's position. This vote was crucial as it needed to take place within 30 days after the Rastriya Janata Party Nepal withdrew from the coalition government last week.
The November 2022 general election in Nepal did not produce a clear majority, leading to Dahal's appointment as the head of a coalition government for the third time in December of that year. Since then, he has worked with different coalition partners to steer the country towards progress. The recent vote of confidence further solidifies his position as the leader of Nepal and showcases the support he has from the majority of lawmakers in the lower house.
The Prime Minister's victory in the vote of confidence is seen as a win for the country as it provides stability and continuity in leadership. With the support of the majority, Dahal can now focus on addressing important issues and making a positive impact on the lives of the Nepalese people. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Nepal under the leadership of Prime Minister Prachanda, but for now, the vote of confidence is a step in the right direction.
