Data last verified 2026-11-04. Total time across all terms, as of 2026-11-04. Totals add up every separate term from Wikidata's "position held" records (with our own record of the current holder). Duplicate or overlapping records are counted once. A past term without an end date is taken to end when the next holder took office (marked "end inferred"). Acting, caretaker and interim periods, where the source marks them, are listed but not counted. The current holder's time runs to today ("and counting"). Records without a start date are left out, so early holders may be missing. Sources: Wikidata (position held) (CC0 1.0) · DigiNepal Who's in office (current holder) (—)
