I will resign in 14 months, Deuba to take over: PM Oli

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said he will step down in 14 months, paving the way for Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba to become the next prime minister. Speaking to journalists outside the Parliament building on Friday, Oli made the remark in response to questions about ongoing rumors of a change in government. “After 14 months, I will resign.

Sher Bahadur ji will become the prime minister,” Oli said, hinting at a possible power-sharing deal. His comments come amid renewed political chatter about a possible reconfiguration of the ruling coalition. Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal had earlier briefed his parliamentary party that coalition discussions would resume once Deuba returned from Thailand.



However, upon his return on Friday, Deuba told reporters that the coalition government would continue its full term, dismissing immediate speculation about leadership change..
