Get ready to face movement for delay in election, Oli warns govt

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) President Col (retd) Oli Ahmed on Monday warned they would launch a movement against the interim government if it does not take steps to arrange the next national election soon, reports UNB.

"Today we are demanding that parliamentary elections be held first. If parliamentary elections are not held, we in unison will be forced to launch a movement against this government," he said.

The LDP president sounded the note of warning at a press conference at his party's office in the capital.

"Those of us who are elected after the national elections will decide when and how the local government elections will be held," he said.

Oli Ahmed said the victory (of the mass uprising) was achieved on August 05 as a result of the sacrifices of the politicians who had been in movements for over 15 years.
