Former Nepali Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli Makes First Public Appearance Since March Election Defeat

Former Nepali Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chair KP Sharma Oli addresses supporters and party members at a program organized by his party in Kathmandu, Nepal, on June 3, 2026. This marks his first public appearance since the House of Representatives election held in March. Oli attends a national workshop on ''Membership Renewal and Expansion Motivation'' organized by the CPN-UML, where he formally inaugurates the two-day event. His appearance draws significant attention within political circles, as he had not attended any public program since the parliamentary election. Oli's return to the public stage occurs amid ongoing political developments and internal party activities, making his appearance a closely watched event among party members and observers.
