UML GC endorses statute with multi-post leadership

The general convention (GC) of the CPN (UML) has endorsed the political paper tabled by erstwhile general secretary Jhala Nath Khanal and the statute ammendment proposal tabled by Amrit Kumar Bohara, on Saturday.

The endorsed statute has a provision for a chairman, three vice-chairmen, a general secretary, three secretaries and more than a hundred central committee members. With this, the UML has entered a multi-post leadership for the first time in its history.

The closed door session which prolonged post midnight on Friday endorsed the papers at around 1 am on Saturday.

After completion of the discussion on the papers, the election process will begin today. Khanal and KP Oli are likely to compete for chairman as they could not reach a consensus, despite repeated efforts from party leaders and cadres. nepalnews.com ta Feb 21 09
