Kathmandu: A central committee meeting of the CPN (UML) held prior to the commencement of the closed-door session of the party’s 11th National Congress has resolved to maintain a 301-member central committee, consistent with the previous structure. UML Chairperson KP Sharma Oli communicated this decision during the meeting.
According to National News Agency Nepal, despite demands from senior vice-chairperson Ishwor Pokharel and others to refrain from altering the issues approved by the party’s Statute convention, the majority opted to adhere to the framework established during the 10th National Congress. During the inauguration of the meeting, Chair Oli emphasized that the substantial attendance by party cadres at the opening ceremony of the 11th National Congress underscores the legitimacy of political parties in the nation.
Within the central committee meeting, General-Secretary Shankar Pokhrel delineated the election schedule, code of conduct, and contemporary agendas slated for presentation in the closed-door session.
