Chief Minister of Far West province Dirgha Sodari has resigned from the post.
Sodari announced his resignation without taking taking a floor test in the provincial assembly on Friday.
He submitted his resignation to Province Chief Nazir Miyan after the provincial assembly meeting.
The Sodari-led government had fallen into minority after the CPN-UML withdrew support to the government on July 4.
Sodari had said that he would not resign and would take a vote of confidence from the provincial assembly.
Friday marked 30 days since UML withdrew support to Sodari’s government. In a letter sent on Wednesday, Sodari had called a meeting of the provincial assembly for 4 PM Friday. But he did not take a vote of confidence during the meeting and instead announced his resignation.
