Attempts to remove Oli futile, says Ram Bahadur Thapa in separate UML task force report
Summary
Ram Bahadur Thapa will present a separate report at a CPN-UML task force meeting, arguing that efforts to remove KP Sharma Oli as party chair are futile. He says the review should not be used to justify Oli’s ouster after the March 5 election defeat.
Key Points
- Ram Bahadur Thapa is set to present a separate report at the CPN-UML election review and party reorganization task force meeting on Friday.
- Thapa says the existing task force report appears aimed more at creating a basis to reorganize the party in a way that would facilitate KP Sharma Oli’s removal.
- He argues the party’s election defeat should not be used as grounds to challenge or remove Oli, who was elected with around 75 percent of the vote at the 11th national general convention.
