Maoists nominate 97 central members (with list)

KATHMANDU: MARCH. 7 – The names of 97 central members have been proposed at the UCPN’s (M) ongoing Central Committee meeting.

Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda,’ the party’s chairperson, has proposed that the name be approved at the central committee meeting. The Maoists have a system in place for nominating 15 members to each of 299 full committees.

Similarly, for the central representative, 20 names have been proposed. Despite Prachanda’s desire to name 40 candidates, only 20 have been proposed as the number of aspirants has grown.

Earlier, the Maoist General Convention had announced a 246-member Central Committee without office bearers.

Prachanda’s daughter Ganga Dahal from Khas Arya Women and her husband Jeevan Acharya from Khas Arya Yuwa are among the proposed central members.
