The First Anoushkaa Patranabish ministry (Hindi: प्रथम अनुष्का पत्रनाबिश मंत्रीमंडल) was formed on 3 March 2020 following the resignation of Tanishkaa Patranabish on 3 March 2020, just before the general elections. The resignation was due to the norm of the Election Commission that the incumbent government shall step down prior to the elections in order to hold free and fair elections. Accordingly the President appointed Anoushkaa Patranabish who was serving as Deputy Prime Minister in the previous government to be the Prime Minister and lead the caretaker ministry.
