In a significant political shake-up, Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba has called for Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' to step down. This comes after the ruling coalition partner, CPN-UML, retracted its support following a power-sharing agreement between the largest parties, NC and UML, to oust Prachanda.
'The Prime Minister should resign after the largest parties NC and UML said that they would form a new government together,' Deuba remarked after a key meeting at his residence in Kathmandu. The agreement, forged with CPN-UML chairman K P Sharma Oli, entails a rotational prime ministerial tenure for the rest of the parliamentary term.
The withdrawal of CPN-UML has led to resignations from all its Cabinet ministers, further complicating Nepal's political landscape. The new coalition aims to stabilize the nation, which has seen 13 governments in 16 years.
