Kathmandu, January 17
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has given the full shape to his cabinet after around three weeks of its formation.
The cabinet expansion was delayed due to different reasons including a lack of understanding among members of the ruling coalition.
Dahal initially had appointed three deputy prime ministers and four ministers; these eight members of the cabinet including himself had been administered the oath on December 25.
Then, on Tuesday, PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal appointed one deputy prime minister, 11 ministers and three state ministers, making the number 23, two less than the highest allowed by the constitution for the federal cabinet, informs the President’s Office. Dahal himself has taken over two ministries.
The newly inducted officials took the oath of office and secrecy today.
Here is the full list of the ministers in the Pushpa Kamal Dahal cabinet according to their rank.
