Bijani House of Representatives vote of confidence, 2015

The Bijani House of Representatives vote of confidence of 2015 is part of an ongoing political dispute during the 17th Bijani House of Representatives. It was triggered by a fracture in the governing Social Democratic Party, which holds 92 of the 245 seats in the House, but requires the support of two smaller parties to stay in power. The issue of no confidence was initiated into the House on January 5, 2015, by a written motion signed by 52 of the 245 representatives.

It was triggered by the expressed intention of the self-named True Democrats, a faction of the Social Democratic Party, to ally with the opposition parties (which together would hold a majority of seats in the House) to defeat the sitting government on a motion of no confidence, thereby forcing the resignation of the government, and likely triggering an extraordinary election.
