Chapter of party unity closed: Nepal

Senior Leader of CPN-UML Madhav Kumar Nepal has told his confidants that the proposal to amend the party statute to make the chairperson all-powerful has closed the door on party unity.

The central committee meeting of the party, boycotted by the Khanal-Nepal faction, on Monday proposed to amend the party statute in a way that only chairperson, general secretary and central members are elected in general convention, and the rest of the office-bearers are nominated by the chairman.
