The Leader of the Ruling Party is an elected, non-ministerial member of the National Assembly who leads the official bloc in the upper house of the federal parliament, whether formed by a single party or a coalition.[1]
This individual is designated or nominated by the Prime Minister to conduct government business on behalf of the ruling side. If the Prime Minister does not designate or nominate any member as the Leader of the Ruling Party, then a non-ministerial member of the parliamentary party of the ruling or major coalition parties is often seen as fulfilling this role in practice.[1]
Although this office is not enshrined in the constitution, it is recognized and supported under the National Assembly Rules[2] or the Remuneration and Benefits of Officers and Members of the Federal Parliament.[3]
The current leader is Nepali Congress, Krishna Prasad Sitaula in office since 15 July 2024.[4]
