Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli assumed his office in Singha Durbar on Monday afternoon. The officials at the Office of Prime Minister and Council of Ministers welcomed him.

Earlier, the prime minister paid his tributes to martyrs by laying a wreath at Lainchaur-based Sahid Smarak soon after he took an oath of office and secrecy from President Ramchandra Paudel. Prime Minister Oli then visited the UML’s central office in Chyasal to pay homage to three veteran Communist leaders.

Here are some photos captured by the Post’s photojournalist Hemanta Shrestha that show Prime Minister Oli being welcomed into his office.
