Koshi Province Faces Potential 10th Chief Minister Amidst Shifting Alliances

Biratnagar. After ministers from the Province 1 and Karnali Province governments resigned, the alliance between the two parties in the Bagmati Province government has finally broken. With the collapse of the UML-Congress alliance, leaders say preparations are underway for a new alliance between the two leftist parties, UML and CPN (Maoist Centre).

UML MP and Central Committee member, Hom Bahadur Thapa, stated that it is certain that the provincial government will now be formed by leftist parties uniting. He said that the leftist parties are working to form a new alliance, keeping in mind the upcoming elections. 'With the aim of uniting all leftist forces and considering the upcoming elections, a government of leftist parties will likely be formed in the provinces,' Thapa said.
