Cabinet Meeting Scheduled for Today at Baluwatar, Governor Appointment Likely

A cabinet meeting is scheduled to take place this evening at the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar. The meeting is set to begin at 5 PM.

According to government sources, the regular cabinet meeting that was supposed to be held on Monday had to be postponed due to the Prime Minister’s health issues. With improvements in his condition, the meeting has now been rescheduled for today.

Today’s meeting is considered important as the appointment of the new Governor of Nepal Rastra Bank is likely to be finalized. Earlier this afternoon, the Governor Recommendation Committee is also set to hold its meeting at 4 PM. Prior to that, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba held discussions, reportedly to reach a consensus on the Governor appointment.

If an agreement is reached, sources suggest that the cabinet might go ahead and confirm the new Governor today itself.
