Bagmati, July 17: Chief Minister of Bagmati Province Shalikram Jamkattel is preparing to seek a vote of confidence in the Province Assembly on July 21.

Chief Minister Jamkattel has written a letter to the Province Assembly Secretariat seeking the vote of confidence.

Speaker Bhuwan Kumar Pathak informed that preparations have been made to convene a meeting of the Province Assembly at 1:00 pm on July 21 for the process of taking vote of confidence. Jamkattel, leader of the CPN (Maoist Centre), was sworn in as the Chief Minister earlier with support from the CPN (UML), Rastriya Prajatantra Party and CPN (Unified Socialist).
