KATHMANDU, MAY 19 -
The KP Sharma Oli panel of the CPN-UML announced candidacies for
different senior posts of the party for the Ninth General Convention
scheduled to be held in July.
Speaking at a press meet in the Capital on Monday, party Vice
Chairperson Biddya Bhandari claimed that the UML Parliamentary Party
leader KP Sharma Oli would be unanimously elected the UML party Chairman
in the General Convention. She also announced the name of the UML
leaders Bam Dev Gautam and Ishwor Pokhrel respectively as the candidates
for the Senior Vice Chairman and the General Secretary of the party.
Bhandari said if Oli's name was announced also in the support of the
UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal,
there could be support in the process of democratising the party and
handing over the party leadership to the new generation.
Bhandari said senior leader Nepal had worked as the powerful General
Secretary of the UML since 2056 B.S. and showed his capacity and that
the party needed new leadership. She assured that leader Oli would work
as the party chairman for a single term and would encourage the 'one
post one responsibility' practice in the party.
It was announced at the programme to have the leadership handed over in
the party's upcoming general congress while giving continuity to the
alliance that backed leader Oli in the UML parliamentary party election.
