UML loses ‘key’ of govt as PM Dahal wins vote of confidence wit...
As none of the political parties in the November 20 general elections secured requisite majority seats in parliament, President Bhandari had earlier served a week-long deadline for parties to stake claim for the new government leadership with the support of two or more than two parties. The deadline expired at 5pm today.
Dahal along with the top leaders of political parties that supported him had reached Shital Niwas to stake claim for the new government. Earlier today, Dahal had broken alliance with the NC-led ruling alliance.
