Ghanashyam Bhusal, who is leading the Unified Socialist’s reorganization campaign, has said that UML Chair KP Sharma Oli is unlikely to participate in the upcoming election “just like that.” Bhusal said that although Oli is making loud political statements at the moment, there is a strong possibility he may not enter the election.
He added that the country’s politics and society should hold Oli accountable. Bhusal, who also serves as the coordinator of the Unified Socialist, said that Oli alone has become the main obstacle to conducting the election.
“We already have a party. We will contest the upcoming election with a clear agenda. We are clear about participating in the polls, and we will go together with the Biplav group. The only obstacle to the election is Oli,” Bhusal said.
He added that no other factor is preventing the election from taking place. “At present, Oli seems to be the only one opposing the election. But I believe that once all parties begin their campaigns, Oli will have no option except to face public pressure,” he said.
Bhusal clarified that only destiny or temporary technical issues could delay the election, and otherwise there is no reason to postpone it. “If the election is postponed due to fate or immediate technical reasons, that is different. Otherwise, considering government preparations and the political environment, I do not see any reason to defer the election.
The way Oli is making noise now, he will likely not enter the election just like that. The country’s politics, society, and citizens will compel him,” Bhusal said.
