Growing lack of trust between Speaker Ghimire and ruling lawmakers

The process of passing the House of Representatives (HoR) regulations has been stalled due to lack of trust between Speaker Dev Raj Ghimire and lawmakers of the ruling coalition.

Draft for the regulation was unanimously passed by the regulation drafting committee of the HoR on January 18. CPN-UML was in the then ruling coalition that made CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal the prime minister on December 25, 2022 at that time and UML’s candidate Ghimire was elected speaker as per the agreement reached between UML and Moist Center the next day.
