Oli vows to lead party and challenge ex-Chief Justice Sushila Karki’s appointment as Nepal PM

Last week, the central secretariat of the Party, by an overwhelming majority, had asked Oli to step down for the large-scale violence and trail of destruction that took place during the two-day GenZ movement on September 8 and 9. Oli invited all the breakaway groups and individuals to return to the party for, “a struggle for democracy”.

As Oli was questioning the legality and constitutionality of the government, different groups and individuals — some of them associated with UML and the Nepali Congress — have filed altogether around a dozen petitions in the SC challenging both dismissal of the House and Karki’s appointment as PM. The court has fixed October 29 as the date for hearing the cases.
