Rulers
The line of President of Nepal - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Girija Prasad Koirala | 2007 – 2008 | 1 year | left office aliveread off the dates alone | |
| Ram Baran Yadav | 2008 – 2015 | 7 years | ending not on record | |
| Bidya Devi Bhandari | 2015 – 2023 | 8 years | ending not on record | |
| Ram Chandra Paudel | 2023 – in office | in office since 2023 | still in office |
4 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 2007 – 2023. Only 16 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 3 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 1.00, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
