A governor (province chief) in Nepal, like the country’s president, is a ceremonial post. The position was envisioned when Nepal adopted federalism in 2017 as per the 2015 constitution. The governor’s role, according to the constitution, is similar to that of the president but limited to their respective provinces.
They are supposed to accept or reject the recommendation made by the provincial councils of ministers, read out policy and programme, enact bills or ask provincial assemblies to reconsider these bills for amendment and work within the rules mentioned in the constitution.
