The **Government of Nepal** is the central executive authority of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, operating under a parliamentary system where the President serves as the largely ceremonial Head of State, and the Prime Minister as the Head of Government who manages day-to-day governance alongside the Council of Ministers[1]. The government administers national affairs including policy-making, law enforcement, and social programs, while also managing transitional justice initiatives to address past conflicts[3][4]. Historically, Nepal transitioned from a monarchy to a federal democratic republic, with its current constitution enacted in 2015. The government has faced significant challenges including political instability, corruption, and public protests. In 2025, widespread youth-led protests known as the Gen Z movement toppled the government led by KP Sharma Oli due to allegations of corruption and repression[2][5]. Following these events, Sushila Karki was appointed as interim Prime Minister in September 2025, marking the first time a woman led Nepal’s government[1][5]. Her administration is tasked with leading the country through an interim period ahead of general elections planned for 2026, despite constitutional challenges and ongoing political tensions[2]. Key achievements include the passage of a transitional justice law in 2024 aimed at addressing human rights abuses from the 1996-2006 conflict, although implementation remains contentious[4]. The government also navigates complex social issues, such as expanding social security programs for children and protecting LGBT rights through progressive court rulings, though some mandates await full enforcement[4]. Notably, recent political upheaval has underscored Nepal’s fragile institutions and the increasing role of youth and social media in shaping political discourse, exemplified by protests triggered by a government social media ban[8]. The interim government’s success in conducting credible elections and maintaining stability will be crucial for Nepal’s democratic future[2][5].
