The Koshi provincial government is set to be reshuffled on Monday.
The Nepali Communist Party (NCP) is joining the provincial government after the Nepali Congress withdrew from the government.
The NCP has finalized the names of the ministers it will send to the government.
According to the party, Jeevan Acharya of Morang will be appointed minister for physical infrastructure, Khinu Langwa Limbu of Ilam will head the Ministry of Forests, Tourism, and Environment, Gombu Sherpa of Solukhumbu will become minister for internal affairs and law, and Geeta Timsina of Morang will be appointed minister for social development.
Acharya is the son-in-law of NCP Coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal.
The party has decided to appoint Sapana Pariyar of Sunsari as a minister of state.
The new ministers are scheduled to take the oath of office at 3 p.m. on Monday. The selection process was delayed because a large number of NCP lawmakers were seeking ministerial positions.
NCP Koshi in-charge and former chief minister Rajendra Rai, parliamentary party leader Indra Angbo, and provincial chairman Harka Nembang had been tasked with selecting the ministers. The names were finalized after the three leaders held discussions on Monday morning.
