himalayan nation: He is likely to be in power for only a few months because new parliamentary elections are to be held by January 2018, according to Metro News. Parliament speaker Onsari Gharti Magar announced that Deuba, head of the country's largest political party, Nepali Congress, received 388 votes, more than the required majority. It is the fourth time that Sher Bahadur Deuba has been prime minister of the Himalayan nation. A total of 170 lawmakers voted against him. Dahal resigned last month, honouring an earlier deal to swap the post with Deuba. He will head a coalition government with the Communist Party of Nepal Maoist Center whose leader, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, was previously prime minister.
