KP Sharma Oli was sworn in as Nepal’s Prime Minister for the third time on Friday 14 May 2021, days after he lost a vote of confidence in Parliament.
President Bidya Devi Bhandari administered the oath of office and secrecy to Oli, at a ceremony at Shital Niwas, after he was reappointed to the post on Thursday night. The Opposition parties failed to secure majority seats in Parliament to form a new government.
Oli will now have to take a vote of confidence at the House within 30 days, failing which, an attempt to form a government under Article 76 (5) of the Constitution would be initiated.
69 years old Sharma Oli previously served as prime minister from October 11, 2015 to August 3, 2016 and again from February 15, 2018 to May 13, 2021.
