Nepal PM K P Sharma Oli Faces Confidence Vote

K P Sharma Oli, recently sworn in as Nepal's Prime Minister for the fourth time, faces a confidence vote in Parliament. With backing from the Nepali Congress and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist, he is expected to secure majority support. The vote will determine the stability of his newly formed coalition government.

Nepal's Parliament is set to vote on a confidence motion this Sunday, testing the support for newly appointed Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli.

Oli, a veteran Communist leader, took the oath of office alongside 21 Cabinet members after forming a coalition with the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML. The coalition holds a majority in the 275-member House of Representatives, easing Oli's path to victory.

In addition to the main coalition, Oli is likely to secure votes from other key parties, including the Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, Nagarik Unmukti Party, and Janamat Party, further ensuring his position.
