Bagmati Chief Minister Shalikram Jammakattel is set to take the vote of confidence from the provincial assembly next week.

Krishna Hari Khadka, chief secretary of the provincial assembly secretariat, said a meeting has been called for 3pm on March 22 after the chief minister requested the secretariat to make necessary arrangements for the floor test.

The chief minister will seek a trust vote after the Rastriya Prajatantra Party pulled out of the government.

A total of three ministers of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party in the Bagmati government resigned on February 25 after the CPN (Maoist Centre) ditched the then coalition to form a new alliance with the Nepali Congress ahead of the Presidential election.

The current Cabinet has ministers from the CPN-UML and the CPN (Maoist Centre).
