Nepal’s prime minister loses a confidence vote forcing him to step down

Associated Press  

KATHMANDU, Nepal — Nepal’s prime minister lost a vote of confidence in parliament on Friday after the largest party in his governing coalition withdrew its support, forcing him to step down from office after 19 months in power. Dahal had to move a confidence motion in parliament after his main ally in government, the Communist Party of Nepal decided to pull out their support last week and join hands with the Nepali Congress — the largest party in the country — to form a new alliance. Dahal had been leading a shaky governing coalition since becoming prime minister in December 2022 following an inconclusive election where his party finished third. Dahal’s party secured the most parliamentary seats in 2008 and he became prime minister, but quit a year later over differences with the president.
