<P> Candidates for each constituency are chosen by the political parties or stand as independents . Each constituency elects one member under the first past the post system of election . Since Nepal uses a parallel voting system, voters cast another ballot to elect members through the party - list proportional representation . The current constitution specifies that sixty percent of the members should be elected from the first past the post system and forty percent through the party - list proportional representation system . Women should account for one third of total members elected from each party and if one - third percentage are not elected, the party that fails to ensure so shall have to elect one - third of total number as women through the party - list proportional representation . </P> <P> A party with an overall majority (more seats than all other parties combined) following an election forms the government . If a party has no outright majority, parties can seek to form coalitions . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Province </Th> <Th> Capital </Th> <Th> Governor </Th> <Th> Chief Minister </Th> <Th> Districts </Th> <Th> Area (km2) </Th> <Th> Population (2011) </Th> <Th> Density (people / km2) </Th> <Th> Map </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Province No. 1 </Td> <Td> Biratnagar (Temporary) </Td> <Td> Prof. Dr. Govinda Bahadur Tumbahang </Td> <Td> Sher Dhan Rai </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 25,905 km2 </Td> <Td> 4,534,943 </Td> <Td> 175 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Province No. 2 </Td> <Td> Janakpur (Temporary) </Td> <Td> Ratneshwar Lal Kayastha </Td> <Td> Mohammad Lalbabu Raut </Td> <Td> 8 </Td> <Td> 9,661 km2 </Td> <Td> 5,404,145 </Td> <Td> 559 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Province No. 3 </Td> <Td> Hetauda (Temporary) </Td> <Td> Anuradha Koirala </Td> <Td> Dormani Poudel </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> 20,300 km2 </Td> <Td> 5,529,452 </Td> <Td> 272 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gandaki Pradesh </Td> <Td> Pokhara </Td> <Td> Baburam Kunwar </Td> <Td> Prithvi Subba Gurung </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> <Td> 21,504 km2 </Td> <Td> 2,403,757 </Td> <Td> 112 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Province No. 5 </Td> <Td> Butwal (Temporary) </Td> <Td> Umakanta Jha </Td> <Td> Shankar Pokharel </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> <Td> 22,288 km2 </Td> <Td> 4,499,272 </Td> <Td> 219 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Karnali Pradesh </Td> <Td> Birendranagar </Td> <Td> Durga Keshar Khanal </Td> <Td> Mahendra Bahadur Shahi </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> 27,984 km2 </Td> <Td> 1,570,418 </Td> <Td> 41 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Province No. 7 </Td> <Td> Dhangadhi (Temporary) </Td> <Td> Mohan Raj Malla </Td> <Td> Trilochan Bhatta </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> <Td> 19,539 km2 </Td> <Td> 2,552,517 </Td> <Td> 130 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Nepal </Th> <Th> Kathmandu </Th> <Th> President Bidhya Devi Bhandari </Th> <Th> Prime Minister KP Oli </Th> <Th> 77 </Th> <Th> 147,181 km2 </Th> <Th> 26,494,504 </Th> <Th> 180 </Th> <Th> </Th> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Province </Th> <Th> Capital </Th> <Th> Governor </Th> <Th> Chief Minister </Th> <Th> Districts </Th> <Th> Area (km2) </Th> <Th> Population (2011) </Th> <Th> Density (people / km2) </Th> <Th> Map </Th> </Tr>
