UML's Rawal declares resignation from position of MP

KATHMANDU, July 18: Bhim Rawal, a lawmaker of the CPN-UML has declared his resignation from the position of member of parliament. 

Rawal, who also led the UML task force [from the Madhav Nepal faction], said that he opted to resign from the membership of the House of Representatives (HoR) as he is not satisfied with the decision of the faction to vote in favor of Prime MInister Sher Bahadur Deuba.

Rawal was elected from Achham-1. 

Other lawmakers belonging to the Nepal faction, however, are preparing to vote for Deuba.
