Madhav Nepal Resigned on Moral Grounds After 2064 Election Defeat; KP Sharma Oli Faces Similar Situation After 2082 Election

Following the CPN-UML's unexpected defeat in the 2064 Constituent Assembly elections, then General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal resigned on moral grounds. In contrast, despite the party's significant setback in the 2082 general elections, Chairman KP Sharma Oli has not taken moral responsibility. Oli faces internal pressure to resign, with many secretariat members advocating for party reorganization, while he remains resistant to relinquishing leadership.
