KATHMANDU: Chairman of the CPN-UML, KP Sharma Oli, has said he will not step down from the party’s leadership at this time, citing his long-standing involvement in the political movement and continued responsibility toward the party.
Responding to calls for his resignation during the Central Committee meeting, Oli said he would not relinquish his position without first fulfilling his duties.
“Some friends are calling for my resignation. I’ve carried a small part of this movement for 55 years, and I still have responsibilities on my shoulders,” Oli said. “My resignation will be discussed at the General Convention, where we will let the delegates decide.”
He urged party members to maintain unity and move forward together. Let’s not carry bitterness within the party. Let’s move ahead with friendship,” he added.
In the same meeting, Oli also accused the interim government, led by Prime Minister Sushila Karki, of attempting to imprison him using the demands raised by the Gen-Z movement as a pretext for political targeting.
“The government is trying to imprison me by any means possible,” he claimed.
