Provincial governments of Nepal#Executive

{{short description|Governance in Nepal}}

{{more citations needed|date=January 2021}}

{{Politics of Nepal}}The provinces of Nepal are governed by provincial governments which form the second level of governance in the country; after the federal government. The provincial governments are established, and their structure is defined by Part 13 of the Constitution of Nepal.

Legislature

{{Main|Provincial Assembly (Nepal)|Speaker (Nepal)}}

Each province has a unicameral provincial legislature, varying in size according to the population of the province. The members are elected through first-past-the-post voting and party-list proportional representation for a term of five years, unless dissolved sooner. The first provincial election was held in 2017.

The provincial assemblies are presided over by the Speaker who is elected from amongst the members of the assembly and is not a part of the debates. The speaker is helped by a Deputy Speaker who is also elected from amongst the members. At least one of the Speaker or the Deputy Speaker must be a woman and they must not belong to the same party unless only one party is represented in the assembly.{{Cite constitution|article=182|polity=Nepal|date=2015}} Nanda Gurung is the first and only woman to be elected as the speaker of a provincial assembly. She is currently serving as the Speaker of Karnali Provincial Assembly having been elected in 2023.{{Cite web |title=Karnali elects Nepal's first woman provincial Speaker |url=https://kathmandupost.com/politics/2023/01/16/karnali-elects-nepal-s-first-woman-provincial-speaker |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=kathmandupost.com |language=English}}

The governors of the provinces have the power to summon and prorogue the sessions of the assembly pursuant to the Constitution. The interval between two consecutive sessions of the assemblies cannot exceed six months. If one-fourth of the total members of an assembly make a petition during a prorogation or recess of the assembly, the governor must call a session or a meeting.{{Cite constitution|article=183|polity=Nepal|date=2015}}

Executive

{{See also|Chief minister (Nepal)|Governor (Nepal)}}{{Outdated as of|year=2024|month=07|day=24|last updated=|topic=}}File:NepalChiefMinisterparty (6).svg

The executive power of a province is vested in the provincial cabinet. If a cabinet does not exist, the executive power is exercised by the governor of the province.{{Cite constitution|article=162|section=13|polity=Nepal|date=2015}}

The head of the provincial cabinet is the chief minister. The governor appoints the leader of the parliamentary party that commands a majority, either alone or with the support of one or more parties, in the provincial assembly as the chief minister. The governor appoints members to the provincial cabinet on the recommendation of the chief minister. The members of the provincial cabinet are responsible for the various departments of the provincial administration. A provincial cabinet can only consist of a maximum of 20% of the total number of members of the provincial assembly.{{Cite constitution|article=168|section=13|polity=Nepal|date=2015}} A non-member of a provincial assembly can be appointed as a minister in the cabinet, but must obtain membership of the assembly within six months of their appointment.{{Cite constitution|article=170|section=13|polity=Nepal|date=2015}}

The assembly can force the resignation of the chief minister with a vote of no confidence.{{Cite constitution|article=169|section=13|polity=Nepal|date=2015}}
