KATHMANDU: Nepal’s president appointed former guerrilla leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal prime minister for the third time on Sunday, after his Maoist party cobbled together a coalition following.
Though the Prime Minister s coalition is likely to take the majority, the November legislative elections saw a breakthrough of independent parties and a new wave of young candidates.
With the conclusion of the vote counting results from the recent elections, major parties have further intensified negotiations to form the new government.
