CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has claimed that the country would head towards the path of prosperity only under the leadership of his party.

Speaking at a programme organised in Lalitpur on Wednesday, he said that his party had played an instrumental role for the establishment of peace and good governance in the country.

The former Prime Minister further claimed that his party would emerge as the largest political force in the country after the provincial elections and parliamentary elections slated for November 26 and December 7.

He said that the government will be formed under the leadership of UML on the basis of more than two-thirds majority after the elections.

Madhes-centric parties and Naya Shakti Nepal would fight the election under sun-the electoral symbol of the UML while the CPN (Maoist Centre) is yet to take the decision whether to contest the election under sun or not.

On the occasion, he welcomed new entrants from the Rastriya Prajatantra Party.
