| [DAWN] Nepal’s parliament elected Communist party leader Khadga Prasad Oli the new prime minister on Sunday, thrusting him into the centre of daunting challenges, from ethnic protests over the new constitution that has also upset vital neighbor India to rebuilding from April’s devastating earthquake. Oli received 338 votes from the 597-member chamber, Parliament speaker Subash Nemwang announced. Oli defeated his predecessor Sushil Koirala, who received 249 votes. |
