Nepal’s Gen-Z protest leader Miraj K Dhungana.on Friday vowed to form a new political party but will not fight elections until wholesale reforms are made, including a directly elected government and voting rights for foreign-Nepalis.
Delivering his address at a press briefing in New Baneshwor, Dhungana stated that the direction is toward long-term transformation, not temporary politics. He spelled out three of the priorities: good governance, tougher anti-corruption, and jobs in Nepal. The group has formed a dialogue committee and is still wrestling with deciding on the name and organization of the party, he said.
“We are going to have no elections until our basic demands are met,” Dhungana said, promising that the movement will be nonviolent and focused on making Nepal a fair and wealthy place.
Dhungana blamed successive governments for failing to provide sufficient employment, pushing young people overseas. He said transforming legacy industries, tourism support, and domestic output could increase the economy, if accompanied by cleaner politics.
Dhungana said their mobilization will continue outside the electoral political process until reforms are realized. Other details from the press briefing revealed the group will conduct public consultations before closing off the party structure.
Organizers arranged additional meetings with advocates and specialists while drafting party legislation and advocating for electoral and constitutional reforms.
