KATHMANDU — Nepal's Khadga Prasad (KP) Sharma Oli was sworn in as prime minister on Monday after his Communist Party forged a coalition government with the center-left Nepali Congress, shifting power in the country's often-volatile parliament.

Oli, 72, chief of the second-largest party in the legislature, the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML), returns as prime minister for the fourth time.
