President Poudel appointed Oli as Prime Minister on Sunday as per Article 76 (2) of the Constitution of Nepal, reported The Himalayan Times.
Oli became the PM after his party forged an alliance with the Nepali Congress and withdrew support to the government led by Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal.
On July 12 Nepal witnessed a change in its political paradigm when Pushpa Kamal Daha, chairman of the Maoist Center, failed to win the vote of confidence in the House of Representatives and was ousted as the prime minister.
