Kathmandu. Governor Mahaprasad Adhikari's term is ending on Chaitra 24. The government is in search of a new governor. Those who were campaigning as aspirants before the formation of the committee are now in hiding. Sources claim that the formation of the committee has created that environment. The coordinator of the governor recommendation committee is Finance Minister Poudel, while former governor Vijayanath Bhattarai and economist and former vice-chairman of the National Planning Commission Dr. Bishwa Poudel are among the members.

While recommending the appointment of governor, the committee has a provision to recommend a total of three names to the Council of Ministers, including eminent persons from the fields of economy, monetary, banking, finance, commerce and law and one from among the deputy governors. One of the three will be appointed as governor by the Council of Ministers.

The 'top three' finalist are confirm 
The governor recommendation committee has been formed and work has begun. The work that was previously stalled due to Foreign Minister Arju Rana’s visit to India is now on the fast track. Other scenarios and events are developing in the same way.

Two deputy governors of Nepal Rastra Bank, Neelam Dhungana and Bam Bahadur Mishra, are in the race to become the new governor. Dhungana has now increased the race compared to Mishra. Raising the slogan of being the first woman governor, she is telling the story that she is qualified for the governor by establishing family ties with former President Bidya Devi Bhandari, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s wife Radhika Shakya and Arju Deuba.

Since KP Sharma Oli has been making statements in various public programs in the past that women should be given a platform, now that statement is becoming a bone of contention for him. He is in a mood to stand firm in his statements or to understand the bag.

Since there is a policy provision that the committee should recommend one of Neelam and Bam Bahadur, many people expect Dhungana to be in the top three in terms of ranking and because she is a woman. Her running also confirms this.

Gyanendra Dhungana, who is drawing a salary of Rs 25 million, has resigned from the position of CEO of Nabil Bank and entered the competition. The scenario and list within it are such that even a layman can easily guess. Many did not find the formation of the recommendation committee the previous day and his resignation from the post the next day surprising. He is close to the Nepali Congress. Many have expected that the committee will recommend him to the top three.

Two days after Dhungana resigned from the post, the Executive Director of the Nepal Rastra Bank, Dr. Prakash Kumar Shrestha, has also sent a new message to the market by resigning from the post. Shreshta, who is also a member of the National Planning Commission, has shown that he is also eligible for the post of Governor and a candidate to become the Governor by resigning from the Executive Director of the National Bank. Shrestha is retiring from the National Bank in the upcoming month of Jestha due to the age limit of 58 years. That is why it was easy for him to resign.

There is a legal provision that a person who has been the Executive Director of the National Bank is eligible for the post of Governor. Many understand that Dr. Shrestha, who has good knowledge of the economy, is also ‘perfect’ for the post of Governor. It is understood that he also resigned initially to be among the top three. Dr. Shrestha is also considered close to the UML.

The Prime Minister and the Finance Minister are from the UML, there is a possibility that the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister can appoint a person close to the UML as the Governor, even if it is to move the country’s economic and financial policy forward simply and smoothly. However, since the UML is seeking a seat in the Election Commission’s Election Commissioner and a person close to the UML has also got an opportunity in the Nepal Electricity Authority, the Congressmen are of the opinion that a person close to the Congress should become the Governor of the National Bank. Now, there is talk in the financial sector that these same individuals will be in the top three and that the governor will also be one of the three.
