Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the prime minister of three consecutive coalitions, has expanded the cabinet on Wednesday. Along with this, as he said, the examination of "moving towards good governance, development, social justice and prosperity" has begun. The ministry has been supported by the UML and Rashtriya Swatantra Party, which are fierce critics of the previous coalition government led by him.
The Janata Samajwadi Party, a partner of the four-party alliance, did not participate in the government citing internal party reasons. UML after one year and nine days and RSVP after one year and one month again participated in Dahal government. 8 ministers from the UML, 5 from the Maoist Center, 4 from the National Independent Party and 2 from the CPN United Socialist Party participating in the new power coalition took the oath of office and secrecy from President Ramchandra Paudel.
16 ministers, including three vice-presidents, have been sworn in and 19 ministers have been appointed. The ministries of 3 ministers who took oath on Monday have also been assigned. UML Secretary Raghuveer Mahaseth, Vice President of Maoist Center Narayankaji Shrestha and Ravi Lamichhane, Chairman of RSVP, have taken charge as Deputy Prime Minister, Physical Infrastructure and Transport, Foreign Affairs and Home Minister respectively. These three deputy prime ministers have been ministers before.
Maoists have re-elected four ministers except Finance Minister Barshman Pun and Tourism Minister Hit Bahadur Tamang. Senior Vice President Narayankaji Shrestha has been transferred from Home Affairs to Foreign Affairs, while Energy Secretary Shakti Basnet and Rekha Sharma have been reassigned as Communications and Information Technology Minister. According to a Maoist leader, the minister has resumed the important work he had started.
