The Chairman of the ruling CPN-UML party KP Sharma Oli reshuffled the party’s all key positions during the first Central Committee (CC) meeting of the reinstated UML on Friday.
However, the CC members of the party close to senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal were not invited to the meeting.
The meeting made some vital decisions, especially the transfer of responsibilities given to the leaders close to senior leader Nepal to the leaders belonging to the erstwhile CPN (Maoist Center).
Other decisions include holding the party’s general convention from November 18-22, amending the party’s statute, and scrapping all office-bearers’ positions except the post of Chairman and General Secretary. Most of the scrapped positions were held by the leaders close to Nepal.
