Kathmandu. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli face a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives or not? This question is being discussed in political circles.
According to an Emalenikot source, Baluwatar has also decided to convene a special session of the parliament to seek a vote of confidence and resign without facing the parliament.
According to the arithmetic of the parliament, Oli is not in a position to get a vote of confidence and according to Oli's plan, he does not even need a vote of confidence. It is being speculated that Prime Minister Oli may resign before the vote in the parliament so as not to be able to calculate the number of votes cast in favor of the party and to prevent the opposition within the party from crossing the floor.
Oli becomes the unopposed prime minister for a period of one month until another vote of confidence is taken or the opposition proposes a no-confidence motion. Even if he wants to present the budget in the parliament, he will have time for that.
This speculation is further aided by those who analyze his past steps. In 2073 BS, when the no-confidence motion was about to be voted on, he resigned from the post without facing it.
