NEW DELHI -- A new coalition government came to power in Nepal when pro-China leader K. P. Sharma Oli of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) and Sher Bahadur Deuba, an ally of India, of the Nepali Congress entered into a power-sharing agreement to amend the constitution to change the electoral system and bring stability to the country.
Oli was appointed prime minister on Sunday, a few days after his predecessor, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, lost a parliamentary vote of confidence and was ousted. The new coalition came to power on Monday.
