A seasoned political survivor, Oli felled by wave of public fury

His resignation following violent anti-corruption protests that left 19 people dead was the latest twist in a roller-coaster political career that has mirrored the volatility of modern Nepalese politics.

From a teenage revolutionary imprisoned for 14 years to a four-time prime minister, Oli has been a central player in the political and economic uncertainty that has beset Nepal since protests led to the abolition of its monarchy in 2008.

Sworn in for his fourth term in July last year as the country’s 14th prime minister since 2008, Oli, 73, vowed to fight corruption and poverty in the landlocked country wedged between India and China.
