UML Statute Convention: Group discussions scheduled for today



KATHMANDU: The second Statute Convention of the CPN-UML continues today, with group discussions set to take place on the second day of the gathering, which was officially inaugurated on Friday.

According to party sources, reports from the Election Commission, Accounts Commission, and Disciplinary Commission will be presented during today’s session.

On the first day, several key documents were tabled, including the political report by party Chair KP Sharma Oli, a statute amendment proposal by Vice President Bishnu Paudel, the organizational report by General Secretary Shankar Pokharel, and a report from Advisory Council Chair Amrit Kumar Bohara.
