Sher Bahadur Deuba was the Opposition leader in the parliament and the Nepali Congress president. Deuba has also been the PM of Nepal four times before.

The Supreme Court has appointed him as the new PM. He will now get 30 days to get a majority vote in parliament, supporting his claim.
A long political turmoil in Nepal
Last year, the previous PM K.P. Sharma Oli dissolved the House of Representatives ( the lower house) and announced fresh elections. This was due to infighting in Oli's party, the Nepal Communist Party. However, many people criticised the move and filed cases in the Supreme Court.

Then, the Supreme Court ruled that Oli’s dissolving of the house was unconstitutional (not right). The court reinstated (brought back) the house that was dissolved.

After that, on 10 May 2021, Oli failed to win a vote of confidence in the House of Representatives. He got only 93 votes out of 232 but he needed 136. So, he became a caretaker prime minister and now Deuba will replace him as PM of Nepal.
