Katmandu/internet/Hyderabad, Sept 9 (Maxim News) A key development has taken place in Nepali politics. PM KP Sharma Oli has resigned from his post amid widespread anti-government protests. A new prime minister is likely to be elected in the evening. KP Sharma Oli’s resignation statement said he was resigning at the behest of the army. Oli stepped down shortly after hundreds of protesters entered his office chanting anti-government slogans.
Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned on Tuesday in the face of massive anti-government protests rocking the country, officials said.
Nepal’s youth have taken to the streets to protest the government’s ban on 26 social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and WhatsApp. The protests turned violent, with protesters setting fire to ministers’ residences and government buildings.
