Juli Kumari Mahato (Nepali: जुली कुमारी महतो) is a Nepali communist politician. She was a member of the House of Representatives of the federal parliament of Nepal until it was dissolved in the wake of the Gen Z protest.[2][3] Mahato, a former Minister of Women, Children and Senior Citizens was elected in the 2017 Nepalese general election, from CPN (UML) under the proportional representation system.[4][5][6]
In the 2013 elections for the second constituent assembly, she was a candidate for CPN (UML) from Dhanusa-3 constituency but lost to Nepali Congress leader Bimalendra Nidhi by roughly 6,500 votes. She was elected a member of the Pratinidhi Sabha from the same constituency in 2022 Nepalese general election by defeating Anil Kumar Jha.[7]
A long time politician, Mahato's house was set on fire by protesters in 2025 September, which went viral in the media.[8][9]
