A power-sharing agreement between the CPN-UML and the CPN (Maoist Centre) has initiated a leadership transition in Nepal’s Koshi Province. Til Kumar Menyangbo, a senior CPN-UML organizer, indicated he received a “green signal” to become the next chief minister following a meeting with party chair KP Sharma Oli.

Following the designation of the UML to lead the provincial government, the CPN-UML and the NCP reached a deal to resolve a deadlock over ministerial portfolios. Under the terms of the agreement, the UML will control five ministries, including the chief minister’s office, while the NCP will be allocated four ministries. Both parties have committed to finalizing specific portfolio allocations and completing the provincial cabinet expansion.
