Source & verification
Directly confirmed on the Bagmati Province government's own official website, which displays his name, photo (dated 25 August 2026 in the image filename), and title as sitting Chief Minister — a stronger primary-source confirmation than the Koshi Province Chief Minister record (Batch 6), which relied on Wikipedia rather than the province's own site. Cross-referenced against Wikipedia's "Chief Minister of Bagmati Province" article, which independently agrees on the same appointment date. Recording this accurately (both this record and the Koshi Province one happen to be CPN-UML) reflects the real current composition of Nepal's provincial governments as of the verification date, not a selection bias in which records were added — provincial chief ministers here have changed hands very frequently (six people have held this specific office since 2018), so this should be re-verified before being relied on for a date much later than lastVerified.
