Oli took charge as Nepal Prime Minister for the third time after the Opposition parties failed to secure majority seats in Parliament to form a new government. 

The Office of Nepal President in a press statement on Thursday evening said that President Bhandari reappointed Oli as Prime Minister in his capacity as leader of the largest political party in the House of Representatives as per Article 78(3) of the Constitution of Nepal. 

However, Oli would need to prove his majority in the Parliament within 30 days.
