Oli failed to get at least 136 votes which are needed in the House of Representatives to win the confidence motion. Ahead of Monday’s voting, the ruling CPN-UML also has issued a whip to all lawmakers belonging to a party to cast their votes in favour of the Prime Minister and party’s parliamentary leader Oli.
“This government has achieved so much, made never before accomplishments. There is no need to mistrust the government and vote against it,” PM Oli said while he listed the achievements of the government under his leadership.
Meanwhile, President of the main opposition Nepali Congress, Sher Bahadur Deuba and Chairperson of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), Pushpa Kamal Dahal, spoke against the favour of the vote of the confidence motion before the House, following which the voting started.
