The Nepalese prime minister, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, was ousted after a parliamentary no-confidence vote. His communist government was replaced by another government led by fellow communist leader Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli on Saturday.
Nepal has had political unrest since 2008, when it abolished its 239-year-old absolute monarchy. Oli's new government is the 14th one so far.
In his term so far, Dahal has seeked a vote of confidence 5 times, and has won all of them. The lawmakers weren't so easy to please this time. Dahal needed at least 138 votes to remain prime minister. However, he only received 63 votes.
The subsequent election resulted in K.P. Sharma Oli taking office, and made Sher Bahadur Deuba's Nepali Congress (center-left) the dominant party in the Nepali parliament.
