Kathmandu, July 20 : The central committee meeting of the CPN (UML) is taking place next day. The meeting is scheduled at 11:00 am at party headquarters, Chyasal, Lalitpur.
The meeting is focusing on the issues including proposal for amendment to the party’s statute, reporting on the party’s organizational works and preparation for the statute convention, said Rajendra Gautam, Chief of the UML’s Publicity Department.
Leader Gautam informed that proposal for revising party’s statute, previously endorsed by the Secretariat and Politburo meetings will be presented and discussed in the upcoming meeting.
The amendment proposal has sought removal of the 70-year-old age limit for the Party Chairperson and previous provision for two terms in the executive position.
A three-tier structure including standing committee, politburo and central committee has been proposed in the amendment. Currently, there is a provision for 357 members in the UML central committee.
The meeting is expected to be a crucial gathering of party line at a time when it is facing a proposal of major change in party statute- age limit and consecutive term.
Another factor drawing equal attention to the meeting is the entry of Bidya Bhandari, former President into the UML, which seems entertained by a section in the party while another even denying her membership renewal.
Amidst this, Bhandari and UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli held a meeting at party headquarters today itself. #nepal #political #rss
