KATHMANDU: The leader of Nepal's Maoists, Prachanda, was sworn in as prime minister of the world's youngest republic on Monday.
The former rebel chief was on Friday overwhelmingly voted in as Nepal's new premier by lawmakers in the country's constitutional assembly, which had abolished the unpopular monarchy in May.
"I will remain faithful to the nation and my countrymen, and promise in the name of the people that I will remain faithful to the sovereign nation of Nepal," he said in his oath of office.
