History
Karki was appointed Chief minister on 9 January 2023. His claim to chief minister was supported by his party CPN (UML), CPN (Maoist Centre), PSP-N and RPP. He won 59 votes against 32 in the vote of confidence.[3] He was opposed by Nepali Congress and CPN (US). Due to change in political coalition in federal government, PSP-N quit government on 31st May 2023.[4] CPN (MC) also quit government and withdrew support on 7 June 2023.[5]. Karki failed to secure vote in the 2nd vote of confidence, gathering only 46 votes, 40 from his party, CPN (UML) and 6 from RPP, which is one less than majority. 43 members from Nepali Congress, CPN (Maoist Centre) and CPN (Unified Socialist) voted against Karki. 4 members including PSP-N's single MP abstained from voting.[6]
