CPN-UML Chair and former Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli (Center) addresses editors and journalists in Kathmandu, Nepal, on December 11, 2025. During the briefing, Oli criticizes the 10-point agreement signed between the interim government and representatives of the Gen-Z People's Movement. Oli says the government lacks any legitimate mandate to negotiate with the Gen-Z groups. Oli adds that the agreement, which is presented by the government without proper authorization, has already been rejected in practice. He says such documents should not be recognized or legitimized. The government and Gen-Z movement describe the deal as a step toward good governance, youth participation, and long-term political stability. The agreement also includes provisions for declaring individuals who died during the September 8-9 Gen-Z protests as martyrs, providing their families with relief and support, free medical care, education, employment opportunities, and social security for the injured, and establishing a Martyrs' Memorial Foundation. Other commitments in the agreement focus on human rights investigations, reducing partisan influence in state institutions, introducing a ''None of the Above'' (NOTA) voting option, conducting primary elections, and setting the minimum age for candidacy at 21. Despite these provisions, Oli rejects the agreement entirely, maintaining that it is a theatrical exercise without legal or political validity.
