K.P. Sharma Oli Set to Return as Nepal’s Prime Minister

K.P. Sharma Oli, the former prime minister, is poised to regain his position after the incumbent, Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda,’ failed to secure a vote of confidence in parliament. The move comes after a series of political shifts and alliances in Nepal, with Oli forming a coalition government with the Nepali Congress. This marks Oli’s fourth term as prime minister, and his return is likely to have significant implications for Nepal’s foreign policy, particularly its relations with India and China.

Nepal’s Political Landscape Shifts as New Coalition Government Looms

Nepal’s political landscape is undergoing a dramatic change with the impending formation of a new coalition government led by former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. This shift comes after a deal was struck between the Nepali Congress and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), leading to the likely resignation of the current Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’. The agreement will see Oli return to the Prime Minister’s position for a period of one and a half years, followed by Sher Bahadur Deuba, the Nepali Congress President. The new coalition government is expected to be formed by Tuesday evening.
