No-trust vote fails in Nepal

KATHMANDU, JAN. 4. Dissident MPs from the ruling Nepali Congress failed today in a bid to bring a motion of no-confidence against the Prime Minister, Mr. Girija Prasad Koirala, party officials said.

The motion against Mr. Koirala's leadership of the party was brought by 57 MPs led by former Prime Minister, Mr. Sher Bahadur Deuba, at a Congress Parliamentary Party meeting. But it failed when Mr. Koirala refused to hold a secret ballot.
