Kathmandu: CPN-UML chairperson K P Sharma Oli on Thursday became Nepal’s Prime Minister for the second time, over two months after his Left alliance routed the ruling Nepali Congress in the country’s historic parliamentary and local polls.
Oli is known for his pro-China stance, President Bidhya Devi Bhandari appointed 65-year-old Oli as the country’s 41st prime minister. He had served as the country’s prime minister from October 11, 2015 to August 3, 2016.
Oli’s PM candidacy was supported by the UCPN-Maoists, Rastriya Prajatantra Party Nepal, and Madhesi Rights Forum-Democratic along with 13 other small parties.
Earlier, former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba had addressed the nation and submitted his resignation to the president.
