Prachanda took the oath of office and secrecy from President Bhandari at a reputable ceremony at Shital Niwas. Born in Dhikurpokhari of Kaski district near Pokhara on December 11, 1954, Prachanda remained underground for almost thirteen years. He joined mainstream politics while the CPN-Maoist followed non violent politics, ending a decade-long armed insurgency.
He led the last decade-long armed warfare from 1996 to 2006 that ultimately ended with the signing of the comprehensive Peace agreement in November 2006.
The Nepali Congress now witnesses the biggest celebration with 89 seats in the house of Representatives whilst CPN-UML and CPN-MC have 78 and 32 seats, respectively.
