World Leader

The Resume

    (December 11, 1954- )
    Born in Dhikur Pokhari, Nepal
    Born Chhabilal Dahal
    Also known as Pushpa Kamal Dahal
    Leader of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)
    Graduated from Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (1975)
    Prime Minister of Nepal (August 18, 2008-May 25, 2009)
    Resigned as prime minister when President Ram Baran Yadav opposed his decision to sack Chief of the Army Staff Rookmangud Katawal

Why he might be annoying:

    He led the Maoist insurgency against the monarchy that caused the deaths of 17,800 people. (February 13, 1996-November 21, 2006)
    He called for the abolition of Nepal's 237-year-old monarchy, which he succeeded in doing.
    He had no previous experience with parliamentary politics upon becoming prime minister.
    In stark contrast to the ideology he espouses, he owns a luxurious mansion in the heart of Kathmandu.
    He admitted that his party established ties with the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. (August 29, 2013)
    He goes by a pretentious single name.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He spent 25 years of his life in hiding.
    He lacks the firebrand charisma revolutionary leaders usually have, having a mild-mannered and shy personality instead.
    He won election as prime minister in a relatively peaceful manner despite few instances of violence.
    He outlawed alcohol, gambling, and 'obscene literature' in Nepal.
    He got slapped by an ex-supporter during a tea-drinking ceremony, smashing his glasses in the process. (November 16, 2012)
