This is an odd debate. The history is clear but, what is uncertain is – which historical figure can be considered the ‘Prime Minister’ and which can’t. The official website of the office of the prime minster of Nepal states that there were 38 prime ministers so far.

I prepared the following video based on the information available in PM’s office:

The full ist:

38. K.P. Sharma Oli
– 1st. From 2014-10-11 to 2016-08-03 AD
