I did not think that I’d have to seek a vote of confidence again so soon: PM Dahal

KATHMANDU, March 20: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that he did not think that he would have to seek a vote of confidence from parliament again within a short period of his appointment.

While asking for a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives (HoR) meeting on Monday, he said, "I didn't think that a vote of confidence would be asked for so soon, because of my proposal that the president should be elected by consensus, the ministers of RPP and UML resigned."
