Nepal Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, won a vote of confidence in Parliament with 157 votes in the 275-member House of Representatives. This development follows Prachanda's recent alliance with the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) after ending ties with the Nepali Congress. It marks the third time Prachanda sought a vote of confidence since assuming the prime ministership in December 2022.
