History

Formation

On September 7, the Supreme Court ordered Koshi’s Provincial governor to appoint CPN-UML’s koshi provincial assembly leader Karki the chief minister of the province, declaring the July 27 vote of confidence secured by Nepali Congress’s Uddhav Thapa as unconstitutional.

The top court had issued the mandamus order to appoint Karki as chief minister within 48 hours as per Article 168(3) that paves the way for forming a government led by the leader of the largest party in the assembly. With 40 seats in the 93 members assembly, the UML is the largest party in the province.

Resignation

Karki announced his resignation as chief minister of Koshi Province on October 7. He registered a vote of confidence in the koshi provincial assembly Secretariat on October 4, according to Article 168, Clause 3 of the Constitution. However, seeing that there is no possibility of a vote of confidence in assembly, he resigned from the post.
