While other parties including the Congress, Maoist Center, National Independent Party, CPN-UML and others are preparing to go to the elections, the UML is in favor of restoring the dissolved House of Representatives. The government led by former Prime Minister Sushila Karki, which was formed after the UML-led government was ousted due to the Gen-G movement, has started discussions with the Maoists about preparations for the elections. But the UML has come out against the government.

UML, which was positive about Karki's government formation at the time, has recently been aggressive towards the government. UML Chairman Oli, who visited the burnt-out central office in Chyasal for the first time on Saturday, Bhadra 24, for a meeting and tea ceremony, claimed that the country was heading towards 'regression' and was playing out an 'election drama'.

'A drama has been conceived to prevent political parties from participating in the elections,' he said indignantly, 'Prohibiting and suppressing political parties and holding elections on Falgun 21? This election is not going to happen, that's why we have called for the restoration of the dissolved parliament.' He said that the government will talk about elections only after controlling those who looted police weapons and arsonists on Bhadra 24.

'There should be no action against those who looted police weapons, and elections will be held right away? Take the criminals under control, and then we will talk about elections,' he said. The UML has decided to move against the government after the Karki government withheld Chairman Oli's passport to investigate the killing of youth in the Gen-G movement.

The UML has decided to move forward with the issue of restoring the House of Representatives, rejecting the demand for the restoration of the parliament within the party and the vote to prepare for the election. The central committee meeting held in Lalitpur for three days has accused the government of moving forward on the path of not holding the election.

The UML has put forward the demand for the restoration of the parliament, claiming that the Karki government is constitutional. 'It seems that it is not aiming to lay the foundation for elections, but to push the country towards a multi-dimensional crisis. Preparations are being made to make agreements with other countries that will have a long-term impact on the country, contrary to the mandate,' the UML decision said on Friday.

‘Since the current situation of not being able to hold elections and the House of Representatives not being formed creates a terrible situation of political vacuum and instability, the CPN (UML) demands that the House of Representatives, which was dissolved unconstitutionally and undemocratically, be restored and it is clear that only that can return the country to the path of democracy.’

The UML has accused the government of moving towards prohibition without holding dialogue with political parties. The UML has accused the government of moving towards prohibition without holding discussions with political parties to hold elections. ‘The current government, which has received the mandate for elections, seems to be aiming to prolong the unelected government, not to create an environment for elections,’ the UML Central Committee has said. ‘Let alone dialogue, consultation and cooperation with parties as the main aspects of elections, it is not even willing to contact them.’ On the contrary, it is walking on the path of prohibition and confrontation.'

UML has concluded that elections cannot be held in a situation where parties are not allowed to participate in the elections, the results they won are annulled, and leaders are not allowed to leave on various charges. 'The government is silent.' In the current situation where thousands of weapons and ammunition looted from the police are being kept outside, thousands of prisoners are being allowed to walk freely and engage in criminal activities again, how can political parties go to the people fearlessly?' UML has a question. 'Can voters reach the polling stations without fear?'

There is a view within UML that preparations should be made to participate in the elections to be held on Falgun 21. Vice-chairmen Yubaraj Gyawali and Ashtalakshmi Shakya have expressed different opinions against the decision not to go to the elections even though the demand for the restoration of the House of Representatives is justified. Immediately after Chairman KP Sharma Oli announced the party's decision not to participate in the elections, Gyawali had submitted a written dissenting opinion.

'The demand for the restoration of the House of Representatives can be taken forward as a program.' Gyawali's opinion was that the decision not to participate in the elections is wrong.' Shakya supported his dissenting opinion.' Most of the leaders who voted in the Central Committee asked what they would do if the parliament was not restored. Should they prepare for the elections or not? Chairman Oli had said that they could not go to the elections.

He had decided to move forward on the path of restoring the parliament, ignoring the votes to go to the elections. Even though he decided to move forward to restore the party, there is preparation to mobilize the party organization internally for the elections.' The demand for the restoration of the House of Representatives is the first, but internal preparations are being made considering the situation of going to the elections,' some UML leaders said. ‘The party understands well that boycotting the elections sends the wrong message.’
