Ousted Nepal PM's party holds biggest rally since Gen Z protests

Tens of thousands rallied for the Communist Party of Nepal in Bhaktapur, with police estimating 70,000 attendees, marking the largest gathering since youth-led protests forced K.P. Sharma Oli out three months ago.
Oli declared at the rally that the dissolution of parliament was unconstitutional and that the UML filed a petition with the Supreme Court to restore it.
Political analyst Puranjan Acharya stated that this event is the biggest mobilization of supporters by any party in the capital since the anti-graft protests.
The UML's upcoming elections on March 5 will see more than 2,000 delegates vote for the new president, who will lead the party into new parliamentary elections.
