The Yadav cabinet was the second provincial government headed by Saroj Kumar Yadav in Madhesh Province, Nepal. The cabinet was formed after Saroj Kumar Yadav was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Madhesh Province on 12 January 2023.[2]Yadav's claim for chief minister was supported by the seven political parties and two independent province assembly members.

On 19 January 2023, Yadav won a motion of confidence with 102 out of 102 votes in the 107-member Madhesh Provincial Assembly, where all political parties and independent members supported him[3].

On May 15, 2023, CPN (UML) retracted its support for the government. As a result, Chief Minister Yadav faced a vote of confidence for the second time on June 14, 2023, and successfully secured it.[4]

Yadav allied with CPN (Unified Marxist–Leninist), Nepali Congress, Janamat Party, Loktantrik Samajwadi Party, Nepal, CPN (Maoist Centre) and CPN (Unified Socialist) on different occasions during his tenure.

After failure to secure the vote of confidence in Madhesh Provincial Assembly on 5 June 2024, he was relieved from his position.[5]

This is a list of ministers and state ministers of the Yadav cabinet from January 2023 to June 2024.
