Nepal's Prime Minister Prachanda Resists Resignation Amid Coalition Turmoil

Nepal's Prime Minister, Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', opts to face a vote of confidence in Parliament instead of resigning. This comes after a power-sharing deal between Nepali Congress and CPN-UML. The coalition's fragility highlights instability in Nepal's political landscape, jeopardizing anti-corruption and governance initiatives.

Nepal's Prime Minister, Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', has chosen to face a vote of confidence in Parliament, resisting calls to resign despite an agreement between major political parties to form a new coalition government.

During a Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) meeting, Prachanda stated he would rather seek parliamentary support than step down, according to party Secretary Ganesh Shah.

The development follows a late-night power-sharing pact between Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba and CPN-UML leader KP Sharma Oli, aimed at replacing Prachanda's government.
