Kathmandu: Upendra Yadav, chair of the Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, filed a writ petition with the Supreme Court on Sunday, demanding the Ashok Rai-led faction, which split from the party, from participating in parliamentary activities.

In his petition, Yadav demanded that a total of seven lawmakers be prevented from participating in the trust vote and other parliamentary activities.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ is seeking a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives on Monday, the fourth time since the Maoist chair was appointed head of the government in December 2022.

On May 5, a group of leaders led by Ashok Rai, including six other lawmakers, split from the Yadav-led Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal to form a new party. Alongside Rai, Pradeep Yadav, Nawal Kishor Sah, Birendra Mahato, Ranju Jha Thakur, Hasina Khan, and Sushila Shrestha left JSP Nepal.

The following day, the Election Commission recognized the Rai-led faction as a new political entity.

However, the Supreme Court stayed the decision of the Election Commission to recognize the Ashok Rai-led faction as a political party.
