Nepal's Political Leaders Unite for March 5 General Election

Nepal's Prime Minister and former leaders have pledged to create a supportive environment for the March 5 general election following the Gen Z movement's political upheaval. The meeting at President Paudel's initiation also aimed to address the current complex political situation.

Nepal's Prime Minister Sushila Karki met with former prime ministers and leaders from three major political parties, including Sher Bahadur Deuba, K P Sharma Oli, and Pushpakamal Dahal ''Prachanda'' to discuss the forthcoming March 5 general election.

The significant assembly marks a collaborative effort to stabilize the political landscape after the recent collapse of the Oli-led government due to a Gen Z-led movement. This meeting, initiated by President Ramchandra Paudel, highlighted the leaders' commitment to ensuring a smooth electoral process.

At the meeting, the consensus was reached to organize a gathering at Prime Minister Karki's residence to further deliberate on election preparations. The President underscored the importance of these elections in navigating Nepal out of its prevailing political challenges.
