The Hikmat Kumar Karki cabinet was the 4th provincial government of Koshi Province. It was formed after Hikmat Kumar Karki was sworn in as Chief Minister of Koshi Province on 9 January 2023.

History Karki was appointed Chief minister on 9 January 2023. His claim to chief minister was supported by his party CPN (UML), CPN (Maoist Centre), PSP-N and RPP. He won 59 votes against 32 in the vote of confidence. He was opposed by Nepali Congress and CPN (US). Due to change in political coalition in federal government, PSP-N quit government on 31 May 2023. CPN (MC) also quit government and withdrew support on 7 June 2023. Karki failed to secure vote in the 2nd vote of confidence, gathering only 46 votes, 40 from his party, CPN (UML) and 6 from RPP, which is one less than majority. 43 members from Nepali Congress, CPN (Maoist Centre) and CPN (Unified Socialist) voted against Karki. 4 members including PSP-N's single MP abstained from voting. Consequently, Uddhav Thapa succeeded him as the chief minister.
