Sudurpaschim Province Chief Minister Kamal Shah is taking vote of confidence today.
Chief Minister Shah has prepared to take the vote of confidence in the provincial assembly meeting called for 1 pm.
Before that, Chief Minister Shah will continue to try to gather party consensus.
At the meeting of the Maoist Center's parliamentary party held on Saturday, two sides were seen regarding giving a vote of confidence to Chief Minister Shah.
The Parliamentary Party meeting of the Maoist Center held on Saturday has written a letter to Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal demanding that he take initiative by forming a government under his leadership.
Nagarik Unmukti Party has also taken the stance of not giving a vote of confidence without the written signature of the party agreement.
Earlier, Rajendra Singh Rawal, who became the Chief Minister from CPN-UML, was relieved of his post after failing to get a vote of confidence.
After that, Shah of Nepali Congress was appointed the Chief Minister on February 9 as the largest party in the Sudurpaschim Province Assembly.
UML's Rajendra Singh Rawal, who was appointed as the Chief Minister on January 11, was dismissed within 29 days after not receiving the vote of confidence.
According to Article 168 of the Constitution, as the leader of the parliamentary party of the largest party in the Parliament, Shah of Congress was appointed as the Chief Minister on February 9.
There is a constitutional provision that Shah must take the vote of confidence from the Parliament within one month.
Accordingly, CM Shah has prepared to take a vote of confidence in the provincial assembly meeting on Sunday.
If the two components of the coalition, Maoist Center and Unmukti Party, do not give a vote of confidence, the Congress-led Far West government will collapse.
The presidential election has reversed the political balance at the centre.
Despite having a clear majority with the eight-party coalition, Shah has not been convinced by the stance of Maoist Center and Nagarik Unmukti.
In Sudurpaschim Province, which has 53 provincial assembly members, 27 MPs are needed to form a government.
41 MPs including 19 from Congress, 11 from Maoist Center (Speaker), 7 from Nagarik Unmukti and 4 from Unified Socialist Party are with the new alliance.
In the Provincial Assembly, there are 10 MPs from CPN-UML (Deputy Speaker), 1 MP from RPP and Independent each.
