‘Election date will not change’

KATHMANDU: CPN-UML leader KP Sharma Oli has said the November 19 election date cannot be deferred.

Addressing a program organized by the party’s sister organization, Nepal Engineering Professionals’ Association, on its sixth establishment day in the capital city on Monday, leader Oli said that the CA election was the only option to end the protracted transition in the country, so it must not be deferred on any pretext.

He also stressed for unity among engineers for the development of the country.

About the recent strife within the party, he said the party would correct the past mistakes and work ahead in unity.
