Three prominent candidates have been shortlisted for the role of Chairperson of the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON): Krishna Bahadur Karki, the current CEO of the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE); Chiranjibi Chapagain, former Chairman of the Insurance Board; and Dr. Nabaraj Adhikari, Executive Director of SEBON. Their interviews are scheduled for Mangsir 09 at 8:00 AM.
Initially, the interviews were set for Ashoj 18 but were postponed at the last minute due to reasons cited by the Ministry of Finance. During the delay, a new recommendation committee was established to restart the selection process for the unfilled position. However, candidate Santosh Narayan filed a case with the Supreme Court, contesting the legality of the revised process. This led to an interim order from the court, halting any new proceedings.
As a result, the government resumed the original selection process and has now called the three shortlisted candidates for interviews. SEBON has been operating without a chairperson since Poush 20, 2080.
