3 C. Nepal's form (know this precisely)

The Constitution of Nepal 2072, Article 74: the form of governance is a "multi-party, competitive, federal democratic republican parliamentary system based on plurality." So: • The President (indirectly elected by an electoral college of the Federal Parliament and Provincial Assemblies) is head of state with essentially constitutional/ceremonial functions exercised on the government's recommendation; • The Prime Minister, appointed under Article 76 (majority-party leader → coalition leader → largest party → etc.), heads the Council of Ministers (max 25 ministers, formed on the inclusion principle) and holds executive power (Art. 75); • The ministry is collectively responsible to the House of Representatives (Art. 76(10)); the PM's survival is governed by the confidence/no-confidence rules of Article 100 (vote of confidence within 30 days of appointment; no-confidence by one-fourth majority of members, barred in the first two years and within a year of a failed motion); • Dissolution is possible only in the dead-end scenario of Art. 76(7) — as the Supreme Court forcefully confirmed in the dissolution cases of 2020–21.
