Oli said that the new government would adopt progressive and socialist policies. He further said that the UML and the CPN-Maoist Centre would be merged as soon as possible and denied any differences between the CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre over the merger process.
“There is a need for a united communist movement and to realise this goal the UML and the CPN-MC will merge,” Oli said. “The two parties will metamorphose into a new party.”
CPN-Maoist Centre leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha said the merger of the two left parties was a historical necessity for achieving the goals of a prosperous Nepal. He said the formation of the new government and the process of merging the two parties should move simultaneously.
The left alliance won six out of 10 FPTP seats in the House of Representatives and 16 out of 20 FPTP provincial seats in Kathmandu. Oli distributed certificates to the winning candidates.
