The Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) has decided not to support Bagmati Province Chief Minister Shalikram Jamkattel in the vote of confidence.

RPP Parliamentary Party Deputy Leader Gir Bahadur Tamang said the parliamentary party meeting held on Thursday decided to vote against the chief minister as the latter seeks trust vote from the provincial assembly.

The party however is yet to decide whether to support the Nepali Congress-UML coalition to form a new government. The RPP has 12 seats in the 110-member provincial assembly.

Jamkattel is scheduled to seek a vote of confidence in the assembly on Sunday.

Chief Minister Jamkattel of the CPN (Maoist Centre) is undergoing a floor test after the UML withdrew its support to his government on July 8. The UML ministers’ exit from the provincial government came a few days after the party quit the Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led government at the centre.

The UML broke the alliance with the Maoist Centre last week and joined hands with Nepali Congress. The two largest parties–Congress and UML–have already formed the new government at the centre.
