Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli (Nepali: खड्ग प्रसाद शर्मा ओली, pronounced [ˈkʰʌɽɡʌprʌsad̪ ˈoli]); commonly known as KP Sharma Oli; (English pronunciation: ) (born 22 February 1952)[3] is a Nepalese politician serving as the Prime Minister of Nepal since 15 July 2024 and chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) since 2014.[4][5] He previously served as prime minister from 11 October 2015 to 3 August 2016,[6][7][8] from 15 February 2018 to 14 May 2021 and from 14 May 2021 to 13 July 2021,[9] He has been the Member of Parliament for Jhapa 5 since 2017, he previously served as an MP for Jhapa 6, Jhapa 2 and Jhapa 7.

Oli opposed India's 2015 blockade of Nepal.[10] He strengthened relations with China as an alternative to Nepal's traditionally close trade ties with India and updated the map of Nepal by constitutional amendment to include territories disputed with India, for which he has received some domestic praise and a reputation as a nationalist.[11][12] Oli's tenure in office have been controversial for frequent use of tongue-in-cheek remarks, hostility towards critics and the media,[13][14] and accusations of fostering cronyism and corruption .[15]
