The Raut Cabinet is the Council of Ministers headed by Mohammad Lalbabu Raut in Madhesh Province, Nepal. Raut was sworn in the Chief Ministers of Madhesh Province in February 2018.[1]

The arrangement of the cabinet is the result of talks between two Former Deputy Prime Ministers, People's Socialist Party, Nepal President Upendra Yadav and Nepali Congress Vice-president Bimalendra Nidhi. They have strong hold in this region from their parties.[2]
