NCP taskforce report is likely to end the prolonged dispute in the ruling Nepal Communist Party. The report which was submitted to the two chairmen, KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Saturday, 22 August, was endorsed on Tuesday by the two leaders.
A one-on-one meeting of party chairmen duo, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, on Tuesday, approved the report, which is considered as a roadmap to settle the outstanding problems that have surfaced in the party.
The task force formed to resolve the intra-party feud had submitted the report on Saturday, August 22, to the two chairmen.
The chairmen also agreed to call a Standing Committee meeting after concluding the Secretariat meeting.
Once the party Secretariat will approve the report, it will be presented at the Standing Committee meeting for further discussions.
The task force had submitted a 16-point report to the two chairmen. The task force, through the report, has proposed PM Oli to stay as Prime Minister for a full term of the House of Representatives and co-chairman Prachanda to be executive chairman till the unity General Convention of the party.
However, the task force report looked in favour of PM Oli, as four of the six members of the task force wanted to become ministers, and they did not want to irk PM Oli. One member, Shanker Pokharel, who is close to PM Oli, is Chief Minister of State 5. It had proposed that Oli should be allowed to complete his five–year term in office and Dahal should act as executive chairman till the next convention, which is scheduled for April next year.
The six-member task force led by party General Secretary Bishnu Poudel was formed on August 14 after the disputes among the top brass continued to pester the party. Other members included were Bhim Rawal, Janardan Sharma, Surendra Pande and Pampha Bhusal.
