The Third Hikmat Karki cabinet is the current and 9th provincial government of Koshi Province. It was formed after Hikmat Kumar Karki was sworn in as Chief Minister of Koshi Province on 9 May 2024.[1][2][3]

Karki's claim for chief minister was supported by the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre).[4][5]

On 13 May 2024, Karki won a motion of confidence with 57 out of 62 votes in the 93-member of Koshi Provincial Assembly, where he was supported by the ruling coalition as CPN (Unified Marxist-Leninist), CPN (Maoist Centre) and CPN (Unified Socialist).[6][7][8][9]

On 26 July 2024, all ministers from the CPN (Maoist Centre) resigned from the government, with the party also withdrawing its support, after a new coalition of between the Nepali Congress and CPN (Unified Marxist-Leninist), which positions CPN-UML to lead the Koshi provincial government.[10][11]
