The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) has joined the Madhesh Province government, with Mohammad Samir inducted as a minister without portfolio just before Chief Minister Krishna Prasad Yadav seeks a vote of confidence. Three more UML lawmakers are expected to join the cabinet, aligning with a new federal coalition arrangement. This move has led to speculation about shifting alliances, with reports suggesting Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal might exit the government, despite a recent whip directing its lawmakers to support the Chief Minister.
