The faction will take out rallies against the dissolution of the House of Representatives (HoR) from five different places prior to converging into a mass meeting at Bhrikuti Mandap.

The spokesperson of the NCP, Narayan Kaji Shrestha informed that the rallies will be taken out from Pulchowk, Tripureshwor, Maitighar Mandala, Kaiser Mahal, and Jamal and a huge mass assembly will be held at Bhrikuti Mandap, Khabarhub.  The protest started after Nepal President Bidya Devi Bhandari dissolved the Lower House on Oli's recommendation on December 20. After dissolving the Parliament, Oli also proposed elections on April 30 and May 10, 2021.

Meanwhile, over a dozen cases filed in Nepal's Supreme Court against the decision of dissolution of Parliament whose verdicts are expected by the end of this month.

Oli became the first Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Nepal in 2017  after the communist alliance of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) CPN-UML and CPN (Maoist Center) secured nearly two-third majorities in the lower house.
