Parliamentary Monitoring Committee of Bhishma Raj Angdembe

The Parliamentary Monitoring Committee of Bhishma Raj Angdembe is an oversight body formed by the Nepali Congress on 1 June 2026. It was established under the leadership of Bhishma Raj Angdembe, the Leader of the Parliamentary Party of the Nepali Congress[1] and the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives.[2][3]

The committee assigns subject coordinators to monitor the activities of government ministries. It functions as a structured mechanism for accountability, but it is not a formal shadow cabinet.[4]

Background

Following the 2026 Nepalese general election, the Nepali Congress sought to strengthen its parliamentary role as the main opposition party. Media outlets initially reported that the party had formed a “shadow cabinet.”[5][6][7] However, Angdembe clarified that the party had only appointed subject committee coordinators, and that the structure should not be described as a shadow government.[8][9][10][11]
