Nepal: Ex-PM Oli’s party draws thousands in biggest rally since Gen Z protests

Tens of thousands attended Nepal's largest political rally since the Gen Z protests, supporting ex-PM K.P. Sharma Oli and launching a three-day Communist Party convention. Oli criticized the interim government's dissolution of parliament and denied his party opposes Gen Z youth. The rally precedes UML party elections, with over 2,000 delegates voting for a new president ahead of the 2026 parliamentary polls.
