LUMBINI, April 19: The Province Assembly members in Lumbini Province have registered the no-confidence proposal at the Parliament Secretariat against their Chief Minister Shankar Pokharel today.
A total of 41 Province Assembly members from CPN (Maoist Centre), major opposition party Nepali Congress (NC) and Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) registered the proposal in accordance with the Article 188(4) of the Constitution of Nepal and Lumbini State Assembly Regulations-2074’s rule 144(1).
The three parties’ Province Assembly members have recommended CPN (Maoist Centre)’s Kul Prasad KC for the Chief Minister’s post as per the Article 188 (5).
The Province Assembly in the Lumbuni State has 41 members representing CPN (UML), 19 from NC, 17 from CPN (Maoist Centre), 6 from JSP and one from the Rastriya Janamorcha.
The CPN (Maoist Centre) had taken action against two of its members for joining CPN (UML). The party now has 17 members in the Province Assembly. It takes 43 province assembly members to form the province government.
Meanwhile, Minister for Internal Affairs and Law Kul Prasad KC and Minister for Social Development Sudarshan Baral, both representing the CPN (Maoist Centre) in the government have tendered their resignation from their position from today.

SURKHET, April 16: Chief minister of Karnali Province, Mahendra Bahadur Shahi is taking a vote of confidence during a meeting of the province assembly scheduled for Friday afternoon.
According to the tentative work schedule published by the Parliament Secretariat of the province assembly, CM Shahi will try to win the vote of confidence at the 40-member province assembly later today.
The existing number of lawmakers in the assembly, however, has reduced to 39 as membership of Dharma Raj Regmi, a CPN (Maoist Center) lawmaker, was suspended after he joined the CPN-UML.With this, the chief minister is required to win at least 20 votes to win the confidence.
Of the 39 lawmakers, CPN (UML) has 20 members and 12 represent CPN (MC). Similarly, there are six lawmakers representing Nepali Congress (NC) and one from Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP).
The UML, after withdrawing its support extended to the Shahi-led government, has already expedited homework to form a new government under its leadership. At the same time, some UML lawmakers close to the faction led by senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhala Nath Khanal are expected to cross the floor and cast their votes in favor of CM Shahi.
Shahi had opted to try to win a vote of confidence among two alternatives before him – either to tender resignation or to win vote of confidence-- after falling in minority as the ruling coalition partner UML withdrew its support given to his government on March 18 earlier this year.
