Chief Minister (CM) of Karnali province Yamlal Kandel has won the vote of confidence from the provincial assembly.
CM Kandel had tabled a motion for vote of confidence during the provincial assembly meeting held on Monday.
Twenty-three lawmakers voted in favor of the motion while 14 voted against it. A total of 37 lawmakers were present during the meeting.
This is the second time CM Kandel has taken a vote of confidence after CPN (Maoist Center) withdrew support to his government on July 22.

With the ruling alliance changing at the center, CPN-UML and Nepali Congress have formed a new government in Karnali province too.
NC has 13 lawmakers in the 40-member Karnali Provincial Assembly while UML, which heads the government, has 10.
