Nepali Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli is set to expand the Cabinet on Friday.

According to Oli's political adviser Bishnu Rimal, lawmakers from CPN-UML, CPN Maoist Centre and Federal Socialist Forum Nepal (FSN-N) will be inducted to the Cabinet, the Himalayan Times reported.

It is likely that 14 ministers -- seven from UML, five from CPN-MC and two from FSF-N -- will be added to the Cabinet as FSF-N joins the ruling coalition.
