Kathmandu: K P Sarma Oli took oath of office on Friday after being reappointed as Prime Minister of Nepal a day earlier, as other parties failed to form a coalition government to take his place.
President Bidya Devi Bhandari administered the oath to Oli and 24 ministers in his cabinet.
Oli got reappointed as head of a minority government since other parties had failed to garner a majority of support from lawmakers to form a new government by Thursday evening as set by the president.
On Monday, President Bhandari had called political parties for the formation of a coalition government by 21:00 hrs on Thursday evening after Oli lost a vote of confidence in Parliament.
He had got only 93 votes, short of 43 in the 271-member House of Representatives.
