Oli, who was elected prime minister by the country`s parliament on Sunday, chose two deputies in Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar and Kamal Thapa.
The two have been rewarded for the support they extended to Oli during Sunday`s vote against immediate past premier Sushil Koirala, of the Nepali Congress.
While Thapa heads Nepal`s only royalist party, the Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal, Gachhadar is chairman of the Madhesi Rights Forum, Democratic -- which chose to break away from the ongoing anti-constitution agitation by the Madhesi community and ethnic people of Nepal`s southern Terai plains.
The five administered oath as ministers were Agni Kharel, Satya Narayan Mandal, Som Pandey, Haribol Gajurel and Ram Kumar Subba. Their portfolios were yet to be announced
