Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, lost a parliamentary vote of confidence after 19 months in office. His coalition government crumbled when the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) withdrew support, forming a new alliance with the Nepali Congress. Former PM Khadga Prasad Oli is poised to take over leadership. Dahal's tenure was marked by instability, requiring five confidence votes.
