UML task force in limbo as coordinator Ram Bahadur Thapa questions its relevance
Summary
The CPN-UML’s election review and party reorganization task force failed to reach a conclusion after a three-day residential meeting in Kavre, with coordinator Ram Bahadur Thapa repeatedly questioning the task force’s relevance. Party leaders now expect the issue to be taken up again at the September 17 meeting and the central committee session later in the month.
Key Points
- The CPN-UML’s election review and party reorganization task force ended its three-day meeting in limbo without a final decision.
- Coordinator Ram Bahadur Thapa repeatedly questioned the rationale for the task force, while members defended the need to move ahead.
- The group formed a smaller three-member task force and will present a proposal at the September 17 meeting.
- Sources say KP Sharma Oli wants General Secretary Shankar Pokharel’s report rewritten, and the matter may be decided by majority-minority voting if needed.
