Kathmandu, Sept 25: Former chair of Nepal Samajbadi Party (Naya Shakti) Dr. Baburam Bhattarai urged the Gen Z movement to hold talks with the government before the March 25 election. Speaking at a press conference in Kathmandu on Thursday (Sept 25), he said there will be no political stability until Nepal adopts a directly elected presidential system.

“If the next election is held under the same system, there is a risk of the same old forces returning to power. That is why the Gen Z generation must create pressure to reform the system,” Bhattarai said. “I have been saying since the Constituent Assembly days that the glass is half full, half empty. Without a directly elected executive president and a fully proportional parliament, the country will not be stable.”

He also claimed that Nepali Congress, CPN-UML, and CPN (Maoist Centre) will try to prevent elections until they are confident of winning under the current system. “They will delay as long as possible, and if they do hold elections, they will do it under this same system,” he said.

Bhattarai remarked that there is no chance these three parties will change their behavior.
