Revisiting provincial structures

Instability in the provincial governments is unacceptable. Such turmoil has dissatisfied the public.

Over the past 15 turbulent months since the second term of provincial assemblies, the provincial governance landscape has painted a disquieting picture. Government turnovers have become common, casting a doubt on provincial stability and autonomy. Koshi has witnessed five changes, Gandaki and Lumbini saw three each and Karnali and Sudurpaschim saw two changes. Sudurpaschim and Gandaki are undergoing transitions again, with the former likely to form a new government imminently. Recent provincial developments have exacerbated conflicts among ruling factions, suggesting that these tensions will endure in the foreseeable future.
