At the time of the Shah dynasty, the Mul - Kajis ( Chief Kajis ) served the function of Prime Ministers. In 1806, the position of Mukhtiyar was created by Rana Bahadur Shah which carried executive powers of nation. Mukhtiyar is formed from two words : Mukhya and Akhtiyar. Mukhya means Chief and Akhtiyar means Authority. Altogether it means the `` Executive Head of the State ''. Mukhtiyar held the position of Executive Head till adoption of title of Prime Minister on 1843 A.D. During the Rana dynasty, the position of Prime Minister was hereditary and the officeholder held additional titles -- Maharaja of Lambjang and Kaski, Supreme Commander - in - Chief of Nepal and Grand Master of the Royal Orders of Nepal. Mukhtiyar Bhimsen Thapa was the first person to be referred to as Prime Minister by the British. However, the first Mukhtiyar to title himself as Prime Minister, as per the British convention, was Bhimsen 's nephew, Mathabar Singh Thapa. Few of Nepalese Prime Ministers have carried a democratic mandate. The first elected Prime Minister was Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, in 1959. After he was deposed and imprisoned in 1960, the King established the Panchayat system and Nepal did not have a democratic government until 1990, when the country became a constitutional monarchy after the Jana Andolan movement. The monarchy was abolished on 28 May 2008 by the 1st Constituent Assembly. The current Prime Minister is Sher Bahadur Deuba, since 7 June 2017.
