Kathmandu, April 22
Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba is preparing is nominate officials of his party including one vice-president, one general secretary and one joint general secretary during the ongoing Central Working Committee meeting today.
The meeting which was halted halfway on April 1 to mourn for its deceased leader Khum Bahadur Khadka is resuming today. Earlier, the meeting was called for Friday, but it was postponed for today as many members including senior leader Ram Chandra Paudel could not come to Kathmandu owing to an obstruction at the Tribhuvan International Airport.
The party statute has it that the President appoints officials from among elected CWC members within two months from the general convention. However, it has already been two years since the party held its 13th national general convention.
It is likely that Bimalendra Nidhi, Purna Bahadur Khadka and Prakash Sharan Mahat will be appointed vice-president, general secretary and joint general secretary respectively. Gopal Man Shrestha and Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar have also laid claim over the vice-presidency.
