Oli capitalises on other parties’ lack of heft to act against him

Experts say the prime minister needs to seek a vote of confidence by Tuesday, but there is no answer to what happens if he refuses to do so.

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and leaders from orbit have for a while been challenging the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) to withdraw the support the party lent back in February 2018 and table a no-confidence motion.
