Kathmandu, August 3, 2016: Toady at 3:45 PM Chairman of CPN-Maoist-Center Prachanda got elected to the prime minister of Nepal for the second time.
Prachanda received 363 votes out of the 373 votes cast. CPN-UML lawmakers and other lawmakers belonging to small parties cast no votes. NC lawmakers and Madheshi lawmakers en mass supported him.
