On Thursday, Shah was appointed chief minister by state chief Devraj Joshi after outgoing chief minister Rawal resigned after losing a vote of confidence.
Rajendra Singh Rawal, elected Chief Minister on behalf of the CPN-UML under Article 168 of the Constitution, did not receive a vote of confidence from the State Assembly, and after Shah, the leader of the Congress State Parliamentary Party, submitted his claim to the position of Chief Minister under Article 168 of the Constitution, Chief Minister Joshi appointed him.
Resham Lal Chaudhary-affiliated Nagarik Unmukti Party’s 7 MPs did not give a vote of confidence to Rawal saying that their demands had not been met.
