Kathmandu, July 1
As the ruling Nepal Communist Party is already tense due to differences and disputes among leaders over some crucial issues, yet another concern has appeared to trouble the party. Recently, some people have submitted an application to the Election Commission proposing a new party named Communist Party of Nepal-United Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML).
As this name was taken by the party led by the Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli until it was merged with the then CPN-Maoist Centre in May 2018 to establish the NCP, some leaders in the NCP have now accused Oli, who is under fire for ‘incompetent leadership’, of trying to revive the old party splitting the united one.
However, it has been found that the 21 people submitting the application for the registration of the party are not recognised in national politics.
Onlinekhabar has received some documents attached to the application, according to which the central committee of the proposed party includes the following:
- Chairperson: Sandhya Tiwari, Biratnagar, Morang
- Vice-chairperson: Bhagawati Khadka, Gelu, Ramechhap
