Pushpa Kamal Dahal failed to gather the support he required.
Nepal’s Prime Minister has lost a vote of confidence in parliament after the largest party in his coalition government withdrew its support, which will force him to step down after 19 months in power.
He had to move a confidence motion in parliament after his main ally in government, the Communist Party of Nepal decided to pull out their support last week and join hands with the Nepali Congress – the largest party in the country – to form a new alliance. Mr Dahal had been leading a shaky governing coalition since becoming prime minister in December 2022 following an inconclusive election where his party finished third.He had to seek a vote of confidence in parliament five times since he became leader because of disagreements within his coalition partners.
Mr Dahal, also known as Prachanda, or the “fierce one”, led a violent Maoist communist insurgency from 1996 to 2006. More than 17,000 people were killed and the status of many others remains unknown.
