Unified CPN-Maoist forms 15-member secretariat

The first meeting of the central committee of the unified CPN-Maoist has formed 45-member politburo and 15-member secretariat.

The existing 35 member politburo was enlarged by inducting ten members from hitherto CPN-Unity Center Masal – which has unified with the CPN-Maoist a few days ago to form Unified CPN-Maoists.

Likewise, the existing 11-member secretariat of the Maoists has been enlarged by inducting Narayan Kaji Shrestha 'Prakash,' Giriraj Mani Pokharel, Amik Sherchan and Lilamani Pokharel as new members representing the hitherto CPN-Unity Center Masal.

"The meeting decided to give completion to the process of unification," said Prakash. nepalnews.com Jan 16 09
