Province 1 CM Rai taking trust vote on Wednesday

KATHMANDU, November 17: The newly appointed chief minister of Province 1 Rajendra Rai is currently taking a vote of confidence on Wednesday. Earlier, Rai was scheduled to take a vote of confidence on Tuesday but the meeting was postponed as the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) led by Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplab’ staged ‘banda’ (general shutdown). Rai was appointed CM of Province 1 on November 2. Presenting a proposal of floor test in the provincial assembly meeting on Wednesday, CM Rai expressed his belief that lawmakers of the opposition party will also vote in his favour. CM Rai also maintained that he is ready to collaborate with the opposition party as well. CM Rai is likely to expand his Cabinet after the floor test. The province is likely to have a Cabinet of no more than 11 members. Currently, the province comprises seven ministries. Of 92 province assembly members, Rai apparently has the support of 50 lawmakers of five parties in the provincial assembly. There are currently 21 lawmakers of Nepali Congress, 10 of CPN (Unified Socialist), 15 of CPN (Maoist Center), three of JSP and one of Sanghiya Loktantrik Manch. Meanwhile, the main opposition party CPN-UML has currently 39 lawmakers in the provincial assembly excluding the Speaker and an absconding lawmaker.

Province 1 CM Rai in minority after UML split

KATHMANDU, Aug 19: With CPN-UML’s formal split on Wednesday, the UML-led government in Province 1 has been put in the minority. UML’s Sher Dhan Rai-led majority government has fallen in minority as the UML’s erstwhile senior leader Madhav Nepal-faction has a strong command in the provincial assembly. Leader Nepal, on Wednesday, registered the CPN-UML (Samajbadi) a day after the government introduced an ordinance relating to party-splitting. Impact of UML split Ruling UML has a total of 51 lawmakers in the 93-strong provincial assembly, meaning UML had a comfortable majority until its split. However, with the split in the UML, at least 15 lawmakers, reportedly close to Madhav Nepal, are likely to withdraw their support to the Rai-led government and join the UML (Samajbadi). The UML requires the support of at least 11 other members of the provincial assembly to win the majority. Following the new political development, UML will have 36 members. Main opposition Nepali Congress has 21 members and CPN (Maoist Center) 15. Similarly, UML (Samajbadi) and Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) will have 15 and three lawmakers respectively while Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and Federal Democratic Front have one member each.
