Kathmandu: Nepal’s former Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli has called for the reinstatement of the House of Representatives, emphasizing the importance of national unity and political stability.
Speaking at an event organized by the CPN-UML’s Bhaktapur District Committee in Gundu on Wednesday, Oli said his party supports the reinstatement of the dissolved parliament and expressed confidence that the Nepali Congress would also back the move.
Oli resigned in early September following violent protests by the youth-led Gen Z group against his government, triggered by corruption allegations and a social media ban.
Former top judge Sushila Karki assumed the role of interim prime minister on September 12. President Ramchandra Paudel dissolved parliament on her recommendation. The next general election is set to take place on March 5, 2026.
Oli stated that any election plan should have the trust and participation of all political parties, stressing that “the country now needs unity, stability, and a positive environment to ensure peace and prosperity.”
