Madhesh Pradesh Chief Minister Jitendra Prasad Sonar (Sonal) is taking a vote of confidence today.
According to the constitutional provision to take a vote of confidence within 30 days of being appointed as the Chief Minister, he is going to take a vote of confidence at 1 pm.
The Madhesh Provincial Assembly has set an agenda for the Chief Minister to take a vote of confidence. Sonal was appointed as the Chief Minister on Asoj 29 with the support of 56 MPs from five parties.
Sonal needs two-thirds of the votes of the total Provincial Assembly members to get a vote of confidence. There are currently 104 members in the total 107-member Provincial Assembly. 53 votes are needed for a majority.
Currently, the government consists of 18 members from JSP Nepal, 11 from Janmat Party (two of whom left to form Janaswaraj), 9 from Maoist Center, 8 from LSP, 7 from CPN (Unified Socialist), 1 from Nagarik Unmukti Party and 1 from Nepal Federal Socialist Party. Two MPs from the ruling party, Abhiram Sharma and Saroj Singh Kushwaha, are suspended. Apart from these, the Civil Liberation Party and the Nepal Federal Socialist Party are also going to support the government. Both parties have one member each in the provincial assembly. Accordingly, Chief Minister Sonal is likely to get the vote of confidence.
The largest party is UML, the second largest party is Congress, and the Janaswaraj Party, which was formed by breaking away from Janmat, is preparing to sit in the opposition. Janaswaraj and RPP MPs are likely to remain neutral.
