Kathmandu, Nepal — President Ram Chandra Paudel has appointed Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) parliamentary party leader Balendra Shah “Balen” as the Prime Minister of Nepal.
Shah has been appointed in accordance with Article 76(1) of the Constitution, as the leader of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
The appointment marks a historic milestone in Nepal’s constitutional practice. This is the first time that a Prime Minister has been appointed under this provision since the promulgation of the 2015 Constitution.
Shah’s elevation is also significant from an inclusion perspective, as he becomes the first Prime Minister from the Madhesi community. The development is being viewed as a major step toward broader representation in the country’s highest political office.
Political observers say the move reflects the spirit of the Constitution, which envisions inclusive governance and proportional representation. It is expected to strengthen public trust, particularly among historically underrepresented communities.
Prime Minister Shah now faces key challenges, including maintaining political stability, accelerating economic reforms, and addressing public expectations through effective governance.
