Art. 161 · Part 13
Vacancy of Provincial Chief
प्रदेश प्रमुख पद रिक्त
Original Text
The office of Provincial Chief becomes vacant upon resignation, removal, or death. When vacant, the President may assign another Provincial Chief to act temporarily.
💡 Plain Language Explanation
If a Governor resigns, dies, or is removed, the President assigns another province\'s Governor to cover temporarily. This ensures no province is ever without a constitutional head, even briefly. The replacement Governor handles both provinces until a new appointment is made.
🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या
प्रदेश प्रमुख पद रिक्त भएमा राष्ट्रपतिले अर्को प्रदेश प्रमुखलाई कार्यवाहक तोक्न सक्छन्।
✅ Strengths
Ensures constitutional continuity — no province is headless.
⚠️ Concerns
Temporary dual-province governance is an imperfect solution; the absent Governor may not understand the other province\'s context.
