The resignation of four ministers including the Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal, the ruling coalition in trouble
Four ministers, including Deputy Prime Minister Rajendra Linden, have resigned in protest at supporting an opposition party candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
On Saturday, the country's Prime Minister's Office confirmed the resignation of four ministers.
The ruling coalition is in trouble due to the resignation of the ministers.
"The coalition under which we joined the government is no longer intact," Linden told Reuters of the resignation. It will not be right for them to be in government.
Dahal said on Friday he would support Ram Chandra Paudel from the opposition Nepali Congress Party in the March 9 presidential election, rather than the candidate from his coalition partner, the Communist Unified Marxist-Leninist (UML) Party.
However, he did not give reasons for his decision. The Nepali Congress party is a former ally of Dahal's Maoist Center Party.
Political analysts say that Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's government will not face any immediate problem with the resignation of ministers. Because his government still has a majority in parliament.
However, analysts believe that a new alliance may be formed in the turbulent situation that has arisen.
Parliamentary elections were held in the country in November last year. But with no party getting a majority, a coalition government was formed under the leadership of Dahal. As a result, his Maoist group came to power for the third time since abandoning a decade-long armed insurgency.
More than 17,000 people were killed in the uprising. In 2006 they joined the UN-assisted peace process and mainstream politics.
