KP Sharma Oli Sworn In As Nepal's New Prime Minister

K P Sharma Oli was sworn in by President Paudel at Shital Niwas, the main building of Rashtrapati Bhawan.

K P Sharma Oli on Monday was sworn in as Nepal's Prime Minister for the fourth time.

The leader of Nepal's largest communist party was appointed Nepal's Prime Minister on Sunday by President Ram Chandra Paudel to lead a new coalition government that faces the daunting challenge of providing political stability in the Himalayan nation.

Oli, 72, succeeds Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' who lost the vote of confidence in the House of Representatives on Friday, leading to the formation of a new government headed by Oli.
