Khadga Prasad Oli has been serving as party chairman since the party's ninth general convention in 2014. The party currently holds 79 seats in the House of Representatives, having won 26.95% of the party list votes in the 2022 general election and is the second largest parliamentary group. There have been four prime ministers from the party while the party has led the government six times with the most recent Oli government which was deposed by 2025 Nepalese Gen Z protests.
