Shakya’s minority government in Bagmati appoints new ministers

The 56-member single largest party CPN-UML is now reduced to 43 members in the province, and Shakya needs 12 members to achieve a majority.

Three weeks after her appointment, Chief Minister of Bagmati Province Asta Laxmi Shakya on Wednesday expanded her Cabinet by appointing six ministers and four ministers of state even after her government was reduced to a minority after the split in the CPN-UML.
