CPN-UML leadership and restructuring dispute

Overview

Following internal disputes regarding party restructuring, KP Sharma Oli has retained his position as chair of the CPN-UML. During a Central Committee meeting, tensions arose between Oli and leader Krishna Gopal Shrestha over meeting procedures, and leader Karna Thapa submitted a dissent note. A task force eventually reached an agreement to remove a proposal that would have seen Oli step aside.

In the aftermath, Oli has shifted the party’s focus toward organizational strength and internal discipline. He ruled out political mergers or unity efforts with other groups, such as the CPN-Maoist Centre, describing such discussions as a ‘waste of time’. Oli also warned that members who violate policy or favor opposition parties will face strict disciplinary action, characterizing previous attempts to remove him from leadership as ‘criminal activity’.
