💡 Plain Language Explanation

The Constitutional Council is the kingmaker — it recommends who leads every major constitutional body: Chief Justice, Election Commission, CIAA, AG, and others. It\'s chaired by the PM and includes the CJ, Speaker, NA Chair, Opposition Leader, and DPM. This mix of ruling and opposition members is supposed to ensure balanced, non-partisan appointments.

🇳🇵 नेपाली व्याख्या

संवैधानिक परिषद् — प्रधानमन्त्री अध्यक्ष, सर्वोच्चका प्रमुख, सभामुख, विपक्षी नेता सदस्य। संवैधानिक निकायमा नियुक्ति सिफारिस।

Good Aspects

Multi-party composition provides checks on appointment power.

⚠️ Concerns

PM chairs the body and effectively controls most appointments; opposition voice is often tokenistic.
