Man Mohan Adhikari cabinet
On November 30, 1994, following the 1994 parliamentary election, the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) formed a minority government led by Man Mohan Adhikari.[1] Despite the Nepali Congress securing more popular votes than the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), the latter secured 88 seats to the former's 83. Neither party was successful in forming a coalition to hold a majority of the 205 seats. After failed coalition negotiations, Adhikari became Prime Minister of a minority government, acquiring the support of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party and the Nepal Sadbhawana Party.[2] Adhikari only served as the Prime Minister of Nepal for nine months and was the first democratically elected prime minister from the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist). During his time in office, then chief of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz rejected funding the Arun III hydro-electric project[3] Also, the Adhikari government promoted programs such as the build-your-own-village-program.[4] Prime Minister Adhikari also enhanced the relationship with Mongolia.[citation needed] In June 1995, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party and the Nepal Sadbhawana Party, who helped to form a minority government supported the Nepali Congress's call for a vote of no-confidence in Adhikari's government in a special session of the House of Representatives. Adhikari attempted to dissolve parliament and call elections in an attempt to replicate the circumstances under which he assumed office in 1994. But a Supreme Court challenge led by the Congress saw this move deemed unconstitutional and the parliament was restored. The vote of no-confidence proceeded successfully. Elections in 1995 saw Adhikari's government voted out of office and made Nepali Congress's Sher Bahadur Deuba the next Prime Minister of Nepal.[5] Ministers
