Morang, Oct 20: Nepali Congress central member Dr Shekhar Koirala said Kedar Karki was elected the Chief Minister of Koshi Province on the consent of party central President Sher Bahadur Deuba.     

Talking to media persons briefly at Biratnagar airport on Friday evening, the leader said the province government was newly formed under the leadership of NC PA member Karki in view of the contemporary situation in the province.     

He also announced that the formation of the Koshi government would not have its impact on the federal and Bagmati province government.
