CurrentRepprt Blog In a significant political development, Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli, the Chairman of the largest communist party in Nepal, has been sworn in as the Prime Minister for the fourth time. The oath of office was administered by President Ram Chandra Paudel during a ceremony held in Kathmandu on Monday.
Oli’s return to power comes after former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, lost a crucial parliamentary vote of confidence on Friday. Dahal’s 20-month tenure was marked by political instability and frequent challenges to his leadership, culminating in his defeat in the parliament.
At 72, Oli faces the challenge of securing a vote of confidence to solidify his position and ensure the stability of his government. His leadership is backed by a coalition comprising the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) and the centrist Nepali Congress, the country’s largest party. This coalition aims to navigate Nepal through its political and economic challenges, fostering unity and progress.
Oli’s return as Prime Minister signifies a critical juncture in Nepal’s political landscape. His experience and political acumen will be crucial as he endeavors to lead the country towards stability and development. The coalition government, representing a blend of leftist and centrist ideologies, is expected to bring a balanced approach to governance.
