The motion of confidence was supported by a coalition of parties, including the Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, Janata Samajwadi Party, Janamat Party, Loktantrik Samajbadi Party, Nagarik Unmukti Party, and several independent MPs.
The significant backing from these parties and independent MPs has strengthened Oli’s mandate, allowing him to continue his administration with a robust parliamentary majority. This vote of confidence comes at a crucial time, as Oli’s government faces numerous challenges and aims to implement various developmental and economic policies.
Prime Minister Oli’s ability to secure such broad support reflects his political acumen and the strategic alliances he has formed across the political spectrum. This development is expected to bring a period of stability to the government’s functioning and legislative processes.
The support of the Nepali Congress, a key player in the coalition, alongside other major and minor parties, has been instrumental in achieving this decisive victory. Their collaboration signifies a united front in addressing national issues and progressing with the government’s agenda.
The confidence vote’s outcome is a testament to Oli’s leadership and the coalition’s collective efforts to navigate the complexities of Nepali politics. With this strong backing, the Prime Minister is poised to advance his administration’s priorities and foster a conducive environment for the nation’s growth and development.
