KATHMANDU - Nepal's Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Friday expanded his cabinet by inducting 11 ministers from six political parties.

"President Ram Chandra Poudel has administered the oath of office and secrecy to the ministers," Sagar Acharya, spokesperson at the President's Office, told Xinhua.

It was the seventh time for Dahal to reorganize his cabinet since he took office as the head of a seven-party coalition government in late December.

Dahal won a second vote of trust in the House of Representatives last week after forming a new coalition now involving ten parties.
