Girija Prasad Koirala to be sworn in as Nepal PM today

 [IST]
Kathmandu, Apr 30 (UNI) Nepal's Prime Minister-designate Girija Prasad Koirala is likely to be sworn in today.

Mr Koirala is scheduled to be sworn in by King Gyanendra at 1000 hrs (local time) at the Narayanhili Palace along with the small Council of Ministers unlikely to exceed 20, highly placed sources told UNI.

According to the sources, the Cabinet list, finalised by the Seven-Party Alliance, will comprise at least six members each from the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML.

There will be three members from the Nepali Congress (Democratic), one from the Nepal Sadbhavna Party (Anandi) and two from the Civil Society organisations. However, the Nepali Workers and Peasants Party and the Nepal Janmorcha will stay away from the Ministry, the sources said, adding they are likely to join the interim government in which Maoists will also participate.

According to sources, among the Cabinet probables is Mr K P Sharma Oli (CPN-UML), who will be sworn in as the Deputy Prime Minister and will be given charge of Home.
