The central committee meeting of the ruling CPN UML is taking place at Prime Minister's official residence in Baluwatar today. This is the first CC meeting after the 10th general convention organising committee got dissolved.
According to the party office secretary Sher Bahadur Tamang, however, all CC members were invited for the meeting; senior leader Jhalnath Khanal and Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction leaders are not attending the meeting today. Senior leader Khanal is undergoing treatment in India for the past few weeks.
However, party vice-chair Bamdev Gautam who was neutral after the intraparty dispute occurred in the UML, has attended today’s meeting.
Party chair KP Sharma Oli led meeting of the organizing committee on June 30 had decided to dissolve the organizing committee and to return the party structure back before the merger between UML and CPN (Maoist Centre).
Meanwhile, senior leader Nepal had urged chair Oli to set the meeting agenda in consensus reaching the party in the previous structure of elected by the 9th general convention of the UML.
