Nepal's New coalition Govt was sworn in late on Tuesday Feb 25,2014 after
weeks of squabbling over power sharing, potentially paving the way to
stability for the Himalayan nation.
Ministers from the Nepali Congress and the Unified Marxist-Leninist (UML) party, which swept the polls in November 2013 took the oath before President Ram Baran Yadav during a ceremony at his residence.
"The swearing-in ceremony has been completed. The Govt will include ministers from both, Nepali Congress and UML," Rajendra Dahal, press adviser to the president, told
Note
Nepal's newly elected prime minister Sushil Koirala of Nepali Congress was sworn into office on Tuesday Feb 11,2014, but his party's main coalition partner - , the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist Leninist)announced it will not join the government, bringing renewed political uncertainty to the nation.
Both parties want to lead the Home Ministry, which controls the police force and local administrations across the nation
Since Nepal's first post-war elections for a constituent assembly in 2008, five prime ministers have served brief terms, the country has had no leader for long periods and the assembly has been perpetually deadlocked.
The former rebel Maoists, who laid down their arms in 2006, dominated the first assembly, which also served as a parliament before its collapse in May 2012 after failing to agree on a constitution.
But the Maoists came third in the Nov 2013 Polls with just 80 seats.
