KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — The leader of the Nepal’s largest communist party, Khadga Prasad Oli, was named the Himalayan nation’s new prime minister on Sunday following the collapse of a previous coalition government.
A statement issued by the president’s office said Khadga Prasad Oli will take his oath of office on Monday.
Oli will be leading a coalition government made up of his Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist) and the Nepali Congress party. They are the largest parties in Nepal.
It is Oli’s fourth time as Nepal’s prime minister.
