Oli stakes claim to become Nepal Prime Minister

Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) Chairman Oli on Friday staked his claim to lead a new majority government by presenting his claim before President Ramchandra Paudel with the support of 165 lawmakers, including 77 from his party and 88 from the Nepali Congress.

Although fringe parties, including the Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP), JSP-Nepal, Loktantrik Samajbadi Party, Janamat Party and Nagarik Unmukti Party are in favour of the Congress-UML coalition government, Oli staked a claim showing the support of only UML and Congress to the President.
