Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, commonly known as Prachanda, secured a vote of confidence in Parliament amid ongoing political turbulence in the country. The vote, held on Wednesday, saw Prachanda, a former guerilla leader representing the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), garnering 157 votes in the 275-member House of Representatives.

This victory follows recent political maneuvers where Prachanda's Maoist Centre parted ways with the Nepali Congress and formed a new coalition with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist). This realignment underscores the fluid nature of Nepal's political landscape, with alliances often shifting to navigate the complex parliamentary arithmetic.

For Prachanda, this marks the third instance of seeking a vote of confidence since assuming the prime ministership in December 2022. According to Nepal's constitutional provisions, a prime minister must seek a vote of confidence when the ruling coalition faces a loss of support from its allies, necessitating a reaffirmation of parliamentary backing.

As Nepal grapples with ongoing political challenges, the vote of confidence provides a momentary respite for Prachanda and his coalition partners. However, it also underscores the fragility of Nepal's political stability, with shifting alliances and frequent parliamentary tests shaping the country's governance dynamics.
