KP Sharma Oli on Thursday was re-appointed as the prime minister of Nepal after Opposition parties failed to secure a majority in the country’s Parliament to form the new government, PTI reported. Thursday’s events were set into motion after Oli,69, had lost a crucial trust vote on Monday. Following this, Nepal President Bidya Devi Bhandari had asked the Opposition parties to come up with the support of majority lawmakers to stake claim to form the government by 9 pm on Thursday. The Nepali Congress, under the leadership of party president Sher Bahadur Deuba, on Tuesday had announced its intention to stake a claim for the prime minister’s post.
