The youth-led group had protested last month against corruption and the government ban on social media sites, resulting in the death of K.P. The government led by Sharma Oli was ousted from power.
Recently the group led by Miraj Dhungana, one of the leaders of the Gen-Z movement, revealed its agenda in a press conference. He stressed that although he is considering forming a political party to unite the Gen-Z youth, he will not contest the elections until their fundamental demands are addressed.
The group has been advocating mainly two major agendas – a directly elected executive system and the expatriation of NepalVoting rights for citizens.
According to Dhungana, his group has decided that it is necessary to form a political party to unite the youth associated with the Gen-Z movement. Revealing his agenda, Dhungana stressed the formation of a citizen-led investigative committee to control corruption and adopting a clear policy on economic transformation.
Calling for collective commitment and cooperation from all parties in the task of nation building, he said, “We will continue to fight for issues like promoting good governance, transparency and curbing corruption. We will not let the sacrifices of Gen-Z youth go in vain.”
