The Second Hikmat Karki cabinet was the 7th provincial government of Koshi Province.

[2][3] On September 7, the Supreme Court ordered Koshi’s Provincial governor to appoint CPN-UML’s koshi provincial assembly leader Karki the chief minister of the province, declaring the July 27 vote of confidence secured by Nepali Congress’s Uddhav Thapa as unconstitutional.

[4][5] The top court had issued the mandamus order to appoint Karki as chief minister within 48 hours as per Article 168(3) that paves the way for forming a government led by the leader of the largest party in the assembly.

[6][7] Karki announced his resignation as chief minister of Koshi Province on October 7.

He registered a vote of confidence in the koshi provincial assembly Secretariat on October 4, according to Article 168, Clause 3 of the Constitution.
