Mohan Shumsher Jung Bahadur Rana formed the first government of Nepal after the 1951 democracy movement. The government was formed by the proclamation of King Tribhuvan on 17 February 1951 and incorporated members of the Rana regime and the Nepali Congress. The king retained the right to dissolve the cabinet at any time and the cabinet would be responsible to him and the prime minister was to inform the king of all decisions. ^{[1] [2]}
