The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) has decided to hold a Central Committee meeting between Asar 15 and Asar 20. The party's Secretariat meeting concluded on Sunday, during which a committee was formed under Ram Bahadur Thapa to review and recommend reforms for elections and party restructuring. The UML also plans to mobilize experts to assist provincial governments with budget preparation.

The CPN-UML party has announced a nationwide 'expose campaign' against the current government, alleging arbitrary operations and a deviation from democratic principles. The party's secretariat meeting criticized the government's handling of customs irregularities, the landless problem, chief justice appointments, rising inflation, and violence against the Dalit community. CPN-UML also condemned a forthcoming government ordinance.

The CPN-UML secretariat meeting, held at Chairman KP Sharma Oli's residence in Gundu, Bhaktapur, has decided to renew the party membership of former President Bidya Devi Bhandari. This decision reverses a previous Central Committee decision that had halted her membership renewal, clearing her path back to active politics within the party.
