KATHMANDU: Deputy Mayor Sunita Dangol has stepped in as the acting mayor of Kathmandu Metropolitan City after Mayor Balendra Shah resigned from his post.
Under Nepal’s Local Government Operation Act, 2017, the deputy mayor automatically assumes the mayor’s duties when the position falls vacant. Dangol took on the role immediately following Shah’s resignation.
Mayor Shah resigned shortly before visiting the office of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP).
City officials say the transition follows the legal process, with Dangol now responsible for overseeing the day-to-day affairs of the metropolitan city until further arrangements are made.
