UML Chair KP Oli appointed as Prime Minister, swearing-in scheduled for Monday

KATHMANDU, July 14: CPN-UML Chairman KP Oli has been officially appointed as the prime minister of Nepal.

President Ram Chandra Paudel appointed Oli as the new prime minister on Sunday in accordance with Article 76(2) of the Constitution. 

This decision follows the dissolution of the government led by CPN-Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal,  which prompted the president to request the formation of a new government by 5 PM on Sunday. 

In response, Oli presented his claim to the premiership on Friday night with the backing of 166 MPs. The swearing-in ceremony is set to take place on Monday at Sheetal Niwas.
