Nepal PM Prachanda Loses Confidence Vote in Parliament

Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' lost a vote of confidence in Parliament as the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist withdrew support, leading to 63 votes in favor and 194 against him, falling short of the needed 138 votes. This loss follows a coalition shift, with CPN-UML aligning with the Nepali Congress, positioning KP Sharma Oli as the next likely prime minister. Dahal, who faced four trust votes during his tenure, is now expected to resign, allowing Oli to form a new government with support from Nepali Congress.
