CPN (UML) Chairman KP Sharma Oli has been appointed as the new Prime Minister of Nepal on Sunday.
President Ramchandra Paudel appointed him as the Prime Minister in line with Article 76 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal a while ago.
This is his fourth term as the Prime Minister. He is scheduled to be sworn-in at 11 am tomorrow.
Oli staked a claim for the post of Prime Minister with the support of Nepali Congress before the President on Friday evening.
President Paudel on Friday had called on the members of the House of Representatives (HoR) to stake a claim for the post of prime minister by Sunday 5 pm (July 14).
He made such a call after the Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' failed to secure a trust vote in the House of Representatives meeting on Friday.
