A meeting of the Madhesh Provincial Assembly has been called for November 14.
Madhesh Provincial Assembly Speaker Ram Ashish Yadav said that the meeting has been called for 1 p.m. on November 14 to allow Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav to seek a vote of confidence from the provincial assembly.
Speaker Yadav said that the provincial assembly's Business Advisory Committee will meet on Friday, November 13, to determine the agenda for the meeting.
Chief Minister Yadav is set to seek a vote of confidence after the CPN-UML and Nepali Communist Party (NCP), both of which were part of the Madhesh provincial government, withdrew their support.
Chief Minister Yadav had written to the Provincial Assembly Secretariat on Wednesday, requesting a meeting at 1 p.m. on November 14 to seek a vote of confidence.
The chief minister said that discussions with various political parties were ongoing to secure the required support and would continue until the confidence vote.
Four ministers from the CPN-UML, which was part of the Nepali Congress-led government, collectively resigned on October 11 and withdrew the party's support to the government.
Similarly, four ministers from the NCP resigned on November 6, withdrawing their party's support to the government.
Following the withdrawal of support by the two ruling coalition partners, Chief Minister Yadav has intensified efforts to save his government.
The 107-member Madhesh Provincial Assembly requires the support of at least 54 members to form a government.
The provincial assembly currently has 22 members from the Nepali Congress, 23 from the CPN-UML, 27 from the Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, 15 from the NCP, and 12 from the Janamat Party.
The Federal Socialist Party and the Rastriya Prajatantra Party each have one member in the provincial assembly.
