Provincial chiefs swearing-in ceremony at 4 PM today
Through political consensus, the government is likely to nominate provincial chiefs; two each from Nepali Congress and CPN-UML while Maoist Center, RJP and FSFN will have one each. PM Deuba has already sought names from the five parties for the same.
A provincial chief must not be affiliated with any political party or have disputed character. They instead must have expertise in some subjects. At present, temporary provincial capitals will be where high court is.
