Another leader attending the meeting said PM Oli has agreed to restore party committees to the status of May 16, 2018, as demanded.
PM Oli and leader Nepal held decisive talks Thursday to explore ways to keep the party united and move forward. The agreement led to PM Oli being reappointed as Prime Minsiter as per Article 76 (3) of the constitution.
