The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) concluded its three-day Secretariat meeting, solidifying organizational plans and revealing internal friction regarding leadership. A task force led by Vice-Chairman Ram Bahadur Thapa ‘Badal’ was formed for election review and party reorganization. Secretary Mahesh Basnet refuted rumors of Chairman KP Sharma Oli stepping down, asserting his indispensability. The Central Committee meeting, initially pushed for by younger leaders, has been postponed to July, with insiders suggesting Oli delayed it due to concerns about being in the minority.
