KATHMANDU: The ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) is holding a meeting of the Standing Committee of the party on Sunday after a hiatus of one year.

The meeting had failed to convene although the party’s statute mentions the meeting should be held every three months.

Activities within the party have gained momentum after Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal got an executive role. An earlier Secretariat meeting has summoned the Standing Committee meeting for today.

During the meeting, Chairman Dahal will be presenting a political dossier and work plan for the coming six months. He had discussed the issues with another Chairman KP Oli at prime minister’s residence in Baluwatar on Saturday.

The meeting will endorse the decision of the Secretariat meeting to nominate leader Bamdev Gautam as the vice-chairman of the party.

A Secretariat meeting has been slated before the meeting of the Standing Committee.
