KATHMANDU: CPN-UML Chairman KP Oli has called a meeting of the party’s central committee (CC) today.
The CC meeting to be held at 3 pm will dwell on the preparations of the 10th General Convention of the party.
UML is preparing to pass the draft proposal of the party statute to be presented in the upcoming general convention and send it to all committees for study and suggestions by August 11, saidCentral Office Secretary Sher Bahadur Tamang.
The UML’s CC meeting scheduled for Sunday had been postponed for Monday. The UML’s general convention is scheduled for September 11 and 12.
The UML Madhav Kumar Nepal-affiliated CC meeting that concluded on Friday had urged the Oli-faction not to carry out party activities unilaterally until there is unity between the two factions.
UML Chairman Oli and senior leader Madhav Nepal are at loggerheads over various issues for a long time.
Earlier, as many as 22 UML lawmakers, including Madhav Nepal, had given a vote of confidence to Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba.
The disgruntled faction has already demanded the exit of party Chairman KP Oli as a precondition for party unification.
The faction had also decided to continue rendering efforts until Oli announces a breakaway from the mother party.
The faction is also likely to announce a new party since there is a slim chance for party unification.
