Deposed former Nepali Prime Minister and Chairman of CPN-UML, KP Sharma Oli (right, wearing a garland), gestures as he attends a program organized at the torched party office for the first time since the Gen-Z revolution in Lalitpur, Nepal, on October 18, 2025. It is the first time since the September 8 Gen-Z uprising that Oli visits his party office. The Communist Party of Nepal- Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) party office is burnt to ashes by the agitated protestors the following day after 21 people are killed on September 8 by police. Oli is in hiding for about 10 days and resurfaces since last month. He denounces the election called for March 5, 2026, by the interim government of Sushila Karki. The CPN-UML Chair claims that an election environment cannot be created without dialogue among political parties. Oli remarks that it is difficult to hold elections when around 1,200 weapons and over 100,000 bullets have been looted and about 5,500 prisoners are still at large. The communist leader also reiterates that reinstating the dissolved House of Representatives remains his party's position and urges party members to move forward confidently, following the party's policy.

Nepal's Interim Prime Minister and former female Chief Justice Sushila Karki arrives at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 17, 2025, to brief the international community. In her briefing, the interim prime minister assures the diplomats that the Himalayan nation steadily returns to normalcy as the government intensifies efforts to restore stability, promote transparency, and combat corruption. The Prime Minister also briefs the international community about the update on the overall situation in Nepal and informs the diplomats about the upcoming elections to the House of Representatives, scheduled for March 5, 2026. Karki comes into power following the Gen-Z revolution, which removes communist KP Sharma Oli from power. At least 75 people are killed in two days of violence. The Gen Z protestors hit the streets demanding political accountability, an end to entrenched corruption, and the reversal of a controversial social media ban. The protests, primarily driven by students and young citizens, rapidly escalate into Nepal's bloodiest day since the 2006 pro-democracy movement. On September 8 alone, at least 21 protestors--mostly students under the age of 30--are killed. The following day sees 39 more deaths, including 15 from severe burns, while an additional 14 fatalities are recorded over the next ten days. To date, the death toll stands at 75.
