Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ successfully won a vote of confidence in Parliament, marking his fourth such victory within 18 months. Despite the main opposition Nepali Congress boycotting the vote, Prachanda secured 157 votes out of 158, reaffirming his majority in the House of Representatives. The vote comes after the withdrawal of support from coalition partner Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) and amidst allegations against Deputy Prime Minister Rabi Lamichhane. Prachanda’s government navigates challenges, including demands for a parliamentary probe into Lamichhane’s alleged involvement in a scam.
