With the pre-election silence period for federal parliament and provincial assembly polls commencing from Monday midnight, the political parties and candidates kept themselves on their toes throughout the day as they rushed from one election programmes to another. 

In this context, CPN-UML Chairman KP Oli attended numerous election campaigns till 8pm today. Oli appeared in five election assemblies today.

His party, CPN-UML, is contesting in the upcoming polls slated for December 7 by forming alliance with Pushpa Kamal Dahal-led CPN (Maoist Centre).

In his address today, KP Oli continued to tell the participants that there was no doubt that UML and Maoist Centre would unify in the future. He urged people not to harbor distrust on Dahal’s character.

“He [Dahal] is a dynamic man,” said Oli, adding, “Otherwise, how could a person who was waging an armed struggle come to the peace process?”

Oli said that he and Dahal both have concurred on taking the country on the path of prosperity and development.

The former prime minister went on to criticise Nepali Congress by saying that the party didn’t even have a strategic plan for the development of the country. “NC has nothing to say except claiming that ‘I will be the prime minister,’” he said.
