Among the given options, the Indian Prime Minister who could not vote for himself during the Vote of Confidence` that he was seeking from the Lok Sabha is Manmohan Singh (option 4).

A Vote of Confidence is a parliamentary procedure where the government seeks the support and approval of the parliament to continue in power. During this process, the Prime Minister typically appeals for the confidence and trust of the Members of Parliament (MPs) in the Lok Sabha.

In the case of Manmohan Singh, he was appointed as the Prime Minister in 2004 and sought a Vote of Confidence in 2008. However, he could not vote for himself as he was not a Member of the Lok Sabha at the time. Instead, he was appointed to the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Parliament) and served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from that chamber.

Therefore, since Manmohan Singh was not a member of the Lok Sabha, he was unable to vote for himself during the Vote of Confidence.
