Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has launched a new WhatsApp channel to connect directly with the public. The aim is to make communication quicker and more personal.
The channel went live on Saturday. It offers people a chance to receive updates on the Prime Minister’s work, thoughts, and political efforts. This move is seen as a modern step in digital communication.
The Prime Minister’s Secretariat confirmed the launch, saying the WhatsApp channel will be used to share important news and events. These include his public speeches, new plans, and day-to-day political actions.
Prime Minister Oli shared the news through a Facebook post. He invited people from across the country to join his new WhatsApp channel. He said this will help keep citizens more informed and involved.
People who join the channel will get regular updates from the Prime Minister himself. These updates may include photos, videos, and short messages. The content is meant to be short, clear, and easy to understand.
Officials say the goal is to create a more open and easy way for people to follow the Prime Minister’s work. It also helps fight false news by giving people direct access to real information.
Digital experts believe this move can help make political communication more transparent. It allows leaders to speak without delay and to a wider audience. They say this may increase public trust in political leaders.
Oli is one of the first leaders in the region to use WhatsApp in this way. Many global leaders already use this method to reach the public quickly. This adds to other platforms he already uses, such as Facebook and Twitter.
The WhatsApp channel is free to join and easy to use. Anyone with a phone and internet can get started. People only need to click a link or scan a QR code to join.
With this launch, the Prime Minister hopes more people will feel included in national issues. It also gives him a better way to hear from citizens and respond to their concerns.
Political observers see this as part of a wider effort to stay connected with young voters. Many of them use smartphones and social apps daily. This new channel may help them feel more linked to the government.
As Nepal continues to grow its digital tools, leaders are also changing how they speak to the people. Prime Minister Oli’s move shows that technology is now a big part of political life.
So far, hundreds of people have joined the channel. The number is expected to grow quickly in the coming days.
This new step highlights the changing face of leadership in Nepal. As the world moves faster, leaders are finding new ways to keep up and stay close to the people they serve.
