Nepal's New PM Swears In
Kathmandu, Nepal (AP) — So, Nepal's got a new prime minister, right? His name's Khadga Prasad Oli and he took the oath on Monday in a fancy ceremony here in Kathmandu. This isn't his first rodeo, folks; he's been prime minister three times before!
The New Bosses and Their Crew
This time around, Oli's running the show with the help of his two right-hand folks, the deputy prime ministers, and 19 other ministers that he picked. They all promised to do their jobs properly at the oath-taking shindig. And guess what? He's got more tricks up his sleeve. He's planning to add some more people to his team from the parties that are playing nice with him.
The Political Mix-and-Match
So, why's he back in the big chair? Well, the last government kind of fell apart. The guy before him, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, couldn't keep it together anymore. Now, Oli's party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist Leninist), and the Nepali Congress party are joining forces. They're like the two biggest parties in Nepal, so it's kind of a big deal.
What's Next for Oli?
Oli's got homework to do. He needs to win a vote of confidence from the parliament peeps. He's got a month to make it happen, but it's looking pretty good for him since his party and their buddies have more than enough seats to call the shots.
What's Going On in Nepal?
The real question is, what's this new government going to do? They've got their work cut out for them with all the problems Nepal's dealing with. The next few weeks are going to be pretty important to figure out if this new team can keep the country steady and going in the right direction.
So, keep your eyes peeled for what happens next with Oli and his new buddies in charge!
