Koshi Province CM to Seek Vote of Confidence on May 13 Amid Legal Challenge

Chief Minister Hikmat Karki of Koshi Province is scheduled to seek a vote of confidence in the upcoming provincial assembly meeting on May 13. This session has been convened by the province’s Chief, Parshuram Khapung, following a recommendation from the current government.

In related news, the appointment of CM Hikmat Karki has been legally challenged by his predecessor, Kedar Karki. The former Chief Minister has filed a writ petition at the Supreme Court, contesting the legitimacy of the new Chief Minister’s appointment.

This legal action introduces a significant complication, potentially affecting the smooth transition of leadership in Koshi Province. Further developments are expected as the Supreme Court reviews the petition.
