KATHMANDU: KP Sharma Oli, Chairman of CPN-UML, has dismissed speculations regarding UML’s potential entry into the Socialist Front following a discussion with Prime Minister and Chairman of CPN (Maoist Center), Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

Contrary to earlier reports suggesting UML’s integration into the Socialist Front, Chairman Oli clarified the party’s stance, refuting any such plans.

The decision came after a meeting between PM Dahal and Chairman Oli, where the matter was deliberated upon.

Despite the Socialist Front’s earlier decision to extend an invitation to CPN-UML, Chairman Oli’s statement firmly denies the possibility.

The Socialist Front, formed on June 19, comprises four parties, including the Maoist Center, Unified Socialist, JSP, and the Nepal Communist Party led by Netra Bikram Chand.

With a collective representation of 54 lawmakers in the House of Representatives, the newly established Samajwadi Morcha-affiliated parties have made their presence felt in the political arena.
