Originally Published 1 year ago — by Al Jazeera English
Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli, leader of Nepal's largest communist party, has been named the new prime minister after forming a coalition with the Nepali Congress party. This marks his fourth term as PM, replacing Pushpa Kamal Dahal. Oli must secure a vote of confidence in parliament within a month to continue in office. The new power-sharing arrangement will see Oli and Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba rotate the prime minister's post until the 2027 general election.
