KP Sharma Oli re-appointed PM of Nepal as opposition parties failed to muster majority to form new govt File Pic In Nepal, President Bidhya Devi Bhandari has re-appointed KP Sharma Oli as Prime Minister as the opposition parties failed to put together a coalition government by the 9 pm deadline yesterday. Oli will take the oath of office today.
He had lost a trust vote in the House of Representatives on Monday. He will have 30 days to prove that he has majority support in the House.
