Kathmandu: The Rashtriya Swatantra Party (RSP) on Friday (May 5) decided to withdraw its support from the government led by Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, said party chief Rabi Lamichhane.
Along with this, Dahal will have to go for the floor test within 30 days after informing the Prime Minister about the move as per the Constitution. The party has 21 seats in parliament.
Earlier in December 2022, Pushpa Kamal Dahal was sworn in as Nepal’s prime minister for the third time, a day after the former guerrilla leader dramatically walked out of the Nepali Congress-led pre-poll alliance and sided with opposition leader K.P. Shake hands Sharma Oli. The 68-year-old CPN-Maoist center chairman was appointed as the country’s new prime minister after he submitted a letter to President Bidya Devi Bhandari showing the support of 169 members in the 275-member House of Representatives.
