Sudan Gurung, a Gen-Z leader and also the president of the Nepal Foundation, stated that they remain firm in their stance on dissolving Parliament. Speaking with the journalists in Kathmandu, he warned that failing to dissolve it could result in the return of the old leadership. Mentioning that they haven’t had direct communication with the President, he said, “We spoke with the President’s secretary and legal advisors. “I told them I want to speak directly with the President–I don’t recognize the rest of you”, he said to the reporters. “Bring the President here, I also said I won’t engage in talks without my Gen-Z team,” he added
The Gen-Z leader further noted that there was no conversation on Friday between interim Prime Minister nominee Sushila Karki and President Ramchandra Paudel. However, Karki has maintained that she will not accept the Prime Ministerial appointment unless Parliament is dissolved, in line with the Gen-Z movement’s mandate. The youth-led Gen-Z movement accelerated amid widespread anger over corruption, heavy security crackdowns, and poor governance. Violence, arson, and vandalism have been reported across Kathmandu and other major cities in recent days. Local officials and hospitals have confirmed multiple deaths and hundreds of injuries as demonstrations intensified. Government buildings and the homes of senior politicians have been attacked, while Nepal Army has been patrolling, curfew imposed and heightened security measures were enforced in parts of the capital.
“She has insisted: First, dissolve Parliament, then appoint the Prime Minister. The new government will announce elections and fulfill its responsibilities. That’s the mandate of the movement,” said an official at Sheetal Niwas. They added that efforts are ongoing to reach a consensus.
