Koirala

The Koirala family have provided many leaders of the Nepali Congress Party, and were instrumental in its 1947 formation. Three Prime Ministers thus far have come from the family, all brothers:
  • Matrika Prasad Koirala (1912-97) was the first Prime Minister after the fall of the hereditary Rana prime ministers in 1951.
  • Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala (B.P. Koirala) (1915-82) was Prime Minister but was at times forced into exile, and was known internationally as a leading voice for democracy in Nepal.
  • Girija Prasad Koirala (1925- ) was a three-time Prime Minister after directly elected parliaments were restored in the 1990s and continues to lead the party today.
The next generation of the family are also active in Congress politics.
