Madhesh chief minister quits ahead of confidence vote

Chief Minister of Madhesh Province Krishna Prasad Yadav resigned on Saturday after the CPN‑UML and Nepali Communist Party withdrew their support, making a confidence vote unlikely. Earlier, UML’s Saroj Kumar Yadav of Mahottari had resigned while seeking a confidence vote.

Jitendra Sonal also stepped down during the confidence‑vote process. Prior to Sonal, Janamat Party’s Satish Kumar Singh resigned after failing to secure sufficient backing.

Additionally, Saroj Kumar Yadav of the Janata Samajbadi Party from Bara was removed from office after not winning a confidence vote.
