LKATHMANDU – : The Chief Minister of Karnali Province, Yamlal Kandel, is seeking a vote of confidence from the provincial assembly today.

Kandel will take the vote of confidence in accordance to article 188 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal. The Kandel-led government was pushed to the minority after the CPN (Maoist Centre) withdrew its support to Kandel on July 22.

However, with the Nepali Congress joining the province government on Sunday, the Kandel-led government got its full shape.

In the 40-member Kanrali Province Assembly, the Nepali Congress holds 14 seats, CPN (Maoist Centre) has 13, CPN (UML) has 10, and CPN (Unified Socialist) and RPP each have one seat. Additionally, there is one independent member.
