Oli Rejects Claims
Former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has rejected reports that he plans to leave Nepal. He said he will not run away or hand over the country to what he called a weak government. Addressing the youth wing of his party, Oli claimed that the current administration is trying to remove his security and official rights.
Oli’s Position
Oli asserted that he was not deterred by the threats and will persist with his political struggle in Nepal. He was devoted to the rule of law, order, and the constitution. He also added that the government led by Sushila Karki lacks legitimacy as the government seized power without the consent of the people. Oli also asserted that he still receives threat messages and is temporarily residing at a rented house in Gundu as protesters had vandalized his residence.
Clarification on Suspension of Passport
Oli also ridiculed that his government had suspended passports of opposition leaders such as Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, Arju Rana Deuba, and Ramesh Lekhak. He called the reports false.
Nepal's latest protests started when social media were banned and soon developed into an anti-corruption movement. Protests became violent, and several ministers, including Prime Minister Oli, were forced to resign. Sushila Karki was made interim Prime Minister by the Gen-Z movement after that. At President Ramachandra Paudel's suggestion by Karki, Parliament was dissolved and elections were called on March 5, 2026.
