CPN-UML Chairman K.P. Sharma Oli was on Thursday sworn in as the 41st
Prime Minister of Nepal, 69 days after the elections of the Federal and
Provincial Assemblies.
President Bidya Devi Bhandari administrated the oath of office to Oli at a ceremony organised at the presidential residence.
Following
his swearing in, Oli formed a small Cabinet inducting two ministers
from his Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist).
Lal
Babu Pandit was appointed the Minister for Population and Environment
and Thammaya Thapa was appointed the Minister for Women, Children and
Social Welfare.
As widely expected, the CPN (Maoist Centre) led
by Pushpa Kamal Dahal "Prachanda", which had extended support to Oli to
form the government in the Himalayan country, did not send the ministers
in the Cabinet for now.
This is the second time Oli has been
appointed to the top post. He was the Prime Minister from October 11,
2015 to August 4, 2016.
He had to step down from the
prime-ministerial post after the CPN (Maoist Centre) withdrew its
support to his government. Now, he has reached to the post following the
support from the same party.
Ahead of Oli's appointment,
outgoing Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, submitted his resignation
after the Election Commission submitted the final results of the
elections held in December to the President. Deuba's Nepali Congress
finished third in the race.
Oli claimed the top executive post
with the support of the Left alliance which had garnered a majority
victory in the elections held in two phases on November 26 and December
7.
Prachanda's Maoist Centre and UML are set to merge soon.
