Usha Kiran Timilsena

Usha Kiran Timilsena is a prominent member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party in Nepal, known for her critical stance against the party leadership of former Prime Minister K. P. Oli. Following a violent uprising in September 2023 that resulted in significant casualties and destruction, Timilsena has been vocal in demanding deep reforms within her party, arguing that its leaders have lost touch with the public. She believes that had Oli resigned earlier during the protests, the subsequent violence could have been averted. Timilsena insists that without a thorough renewal of the party's leadership, it will struggle to regain public support in future elections.
