Ghorahi was established as a municipality in 1979. The sub-metropolitan city was created in 2017 by merging neighboring Tripur municipality and other village development committees into Ghorahi municipality.[6] The Electors in each ward elect a ward chair and four ward members, out of which two must be female and one of the two must belong to the Dalit community.[7]
In the previous election, Naru Lal Chaudhary of the CPN (Unified Marxist–Leninist) was elected as the first mayor of the sub-metropolitan city.[8]
