#NEPAL: Prime Min. Oli Resigns Before No Confidence Vote

[world politics news]


Nepal's Prime Minister K.P. Oli has resigned, nine months after coming to power and minutes before parliament was to vote on a no confidence motion he was likely to lose. Oli's departure plunges the Himalyan country, plagued by political turmoil for years, into a whole new round of political uncertainty. This is the country's 23rd government to fall since a multi-party democracy began in 1990 after bloody protests, and the political tumult has weighed on business confidence.
