Far-western UML majority MPs identify in favor of new party

Dhangadhi: Far-Western state assembly members who want to leave the CPN-UML and join the CPN (Unified Socialist) Party are preparing to be identified at the election office. The state parliamentarians are busy preparing to reach the state election office by 5 pm today.

There are 25 UML MPs in the 52-member Far-Western Provincial Assembly, including the Speaker. Before the split, KP Sharma Oli had only seven MP's support. Eighteen people, including the speaker, were on Madhav Kumar Nepal's side.

Contrary to the party's decision, 17 lawmakers from the Nepal faction also gave a vote of confidence to the Maoist-led state government. The decision by the Oli faction's standing committee and the provincial committee was repeatedly challenged by 17 lawmakers.

After senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal split from UML and formed a new party, what will the 17 parliamentarians do who supported Nepal in the past? The curiosity has increased. Tara Lama Tamang, a former UML chief whip in the Far-West, claimed that a majority of lawmakers would identify in favor of the new party. "In the past, apart from the speaker, there were 17 members in the Madhav group.

We identify the majority MPs in favor of the CPN (S), "he told Dinesh Khabar. He said that they are preparing to reach the state election office in Dhangadhi. According to news sources, 13 UML state parliamentarians have started preparations to identify themselves in favor of the CPN (Unified Socialist).
