why is badal defending kp oli?
Ram Bahadur Thapa (Badal) is strongly backing CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli amid internal party debates regarding reorganization. In a 38-page separate report submitted to the UML Reorganization Taskforce in September 2026, Badal argued that any attempt to displace or remove Oli as party chair is completely futile. He pointed out that Oli commands the backing of 75 percent of the party votes. Badal's report also explicitly defended the party's 70-year age limit against opposing proposals, firmly aligning himself with Oli's leadership position within the party.
