At the time of the Shah dynasty, the Mulkajis ( 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. The Prime Minister of Nepal does not have a term limit. 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 Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli, since 15 February 2018. The residence of Prime Minister of Nepal is in Baluwatar, Kathmandu. The seat of the Prime Minister is Singha Darbar since the time of Chandra Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana. The basic monthly salary of Prime Minister of Nepal is NPR 77,280.

These Bharadars were drawn from high caste and politically influential families. For instance ; Thar Ghar in previous Gorkha hill principality. The nobility of Gorkha were mainly based from Chhetri families and they had a strong presence in civil administration affairs. All of the Prime Minister of Nepal between 1768 to 1950 were Chhetris with the exception of Ranga Nath Poudyal, being a Brahmin. Bharadars formed consultative body in the kingdom for the most important functions of the state as Councellors, Ministers and Diplomats. There was no single successful coalition government as court politics were driven from large factional rivalries, consecutive conspiracies and ostracization of opponent Bharadar families through assassination rather than legal expulsion. Another reason was the minority of the reigning King between 1777 to 1847 that led to establishment of anarchial rule. The government was stated to have controlled by regents, Mukhtiyars and alliance of political faction with strong fundamental support. In the end of the 18th century, the central politics was regularly dominated by two notable political factions ; Thapas and Pandes. Per historians and contemporary writer Francis Hamilton, the government of Nepal comprised 1 Chautariya 4 Kajis 4 Sirdar / Sardars 2 Subedars 1 Khazanchi 1 Kapardar. Per historian Dilli Raman Regmi, the states the government of Nepal were 4 Chautariyas 4 Kajis 4 Sirdar / Sardars. Later, the number varied after King Rana Bahadur Shah abdicated his throne to minor son on 1799. In 1794, King Rana Bahadur Shah came of age and his first act was to re-constitute the government such that his uncle, Prince Bahadur Shah of Nepal, had no official part to play. Rana Bahadur appointed Kirtiman Singh Basnyat as Chief ( Mul ) Kaji among the newly appointed four Kajis though Damodar Pande was the most influential Kaji. Kirtiman had succeeded Abhiman Singh Basnyat as Chief Kaji while Prince Bahadur Shah was succeeded as Chief ( Mul ) Chautariya by Prince Ranodyot Shah, then heir apparent of King Rana Bahadur Shah by a Chhetri Queen Subarna Prabha Devi. Kajis had held the administrative and executive powers of nation after the fall of Chief Chautariya Prince Bahadur Shah in 1794. Later, Kirtiman Singh was secretly assassinated on 28 September 1801, by the supporters of Raj Rajeshwari Devi and his brother Bakhtawar Singh Basnyat, was then given the post of Chief ( Mul ) Kaji. During Bakhtawar 's tenure as the Mul Kaji, on 28 October 1801, a Treaty of Commerce and Alliance was signed between Nepal and East India Company. Queen Rajrajeshwari was restored as regent of Nepal in 17 December 1802. On subsequent February, Damodar Pande was appointed by Queen Rajrajeshwari as Mulkaji ( Chief Kaji ) as a reward for establishing her regency.
