CPN-UML ministers submitted their collective resignation to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal today. Today, the party decided to leave the government and withdraw support, forcing the prime minister to seek a vote of confidence in Parliament.
Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist), the biggest party in Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s coalition, was angered by his decision to back an opposition candidate in next week’s presidential election.
It is the third party to withdraw from the government since it was formed in December after no party managed to secure a majority in the November parliamentary elections.
