केपी शर्मा ओली को नेपाल का नया प्रधानमंत्री नियुक्त किया गया। कौन है ये?

KP Sharma Oli appointed as Nepal's new prime minister. Who is he?

KP Sharma Oli, a prominent communist leader in Nepal, has been appointed as the country's prime minister for the fourth time. This appointment comes after former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, lost a vote of no confidence in the House of Representatives on Friday. Oli's return to power follows a strategic political deal with Sher Bahadur Deuba of the Nepali Congress to share power on a rotational basis, according to PTI.

Dahal had taken office in March 2024 after breaking his alliance with the Nepali Congress and partnering with Oli's Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) (CPI-UML). However, his tenure was short-lived, adding to the country's history of political instability, with 13 different governments since the monarchy's abolition in 2008.

Oli, who is 72 years old, faces significant challenges as he takes on the role of prime minister again. His task is to provide political stability to Nepal, a nation that has been grappling with frequent changes in government. As per the process outlined in Article 76(2) of the Nepalese constitution, Oli will form a new government, and the President's office, led by Ram Chandra Paudel, has issued a formal notice regarding his appointment.

The swearing-in ceremony for Oli is set to occur at 11 am on Monday at Shital Niwas, the main building of Rashtrapati Bhawan. He will head a coalition government supported by the Nepali Congress, led by Sher Bahadur Deuba. During the vote of no confidence, Oli presented a letter of support with signatures from 165 members of the 275-member House of Representatives.

Under Nepal's constitution, a prime minister can only seek a vote of no confidence after an ally withdraws support. Among the 165 members backing Oli, 77 are from his party, the CPI-UML, and 88 are from the Nepali Congress. This alliance is crucial for maintaining a majority in the parliament.

Last week, amid political uncertainty, Oli and Deuba signed a seven-point agreement to form a new coalition government, effectively replacing Prachanda. The deal stipulates that the remaining term in Parliament will be shared between the two parties on a rotational basis, with Oli leading the government for the next 18 months.

In addition to the support from the Nepali Congress, Oli's coalition government is expected to include other smaller political parties. These include the Rastriya Prajatantra Party, Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal, Lokatantrik Samajwadi Party, Janamat Party, and Nagarik Unmukti Party. This broad coalition is aimed at ensuring a more stable government and addressing the political volatility that has plagued Nepal for years.

Oli's political journey has been marked by both achievements and controversies. Known for his nationalist rhetoric, he has made several startling claims, including that yoga originated in Nepal. As he takes office again, Oli's primary focus will likely be on navigating the complex political landscape and working towards stability and development for Nepal.
