KP Sharma Oli takes oath as Nepal Prime Minister 

K P Sharma Oli has been sworn in as Nepal's Prime Minister for the fourth time.

President Ramchandra Paudel administered the oath on Monday.

The leader of Nepal's largest communist party was appointed Nepal's Prime Minister on Sunday by President Ram Chandra Paudel to lead a new coalition government that faces the daunting challenge of providing political stability in the Himalayan nation.

Oli, 72, succeeds Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' who lost the vote of confidence in the House of Representatives on Friday, leading to the formation of the new government headed by Oli.

He became the Prime Minister with the support of the Nepali Congress, the largest party in Parliament.
