SAURAHA, NOVEMBER 27

The closed-door session of the ongoing 10th National Congress of the CPN-UML has given responsibility to party Chairman KP Sharma Oli to present the name-list of office-bearers and central committee members.

However, party Vice-chairman Bhim Rawal announced his candidacy during the closed-door session while challenging the proposal that gives authority to Oli to select the entire new team.

Chairman Oli will also propose the members of central accounts commission and central discipline commission.

Both the commissions will have 25 members each.

UML's assistant General Secretary Bishnu Prasad Poudel said different clusters, including women, indigenous, Muslim, Tharu, backward society and others, would be represented in the 301-member central committee.

In today's closed-door session, Oli urged the entire party rank and file to make the UML united.
