UML decides to nominate Ghimire for position of National Assembly vice chair

UML decides to nominate Ghimire for position of National Assembly vice chair

KATHMANDU, April 4: The CPN-UML has decided to nominate Bimala Ghimire for the post of the vice-chairperson of the National Assembly.

According to the party’s parliamentary party leader Devendra Dahal, the party has decided to nominate Ghimire as its candidate for the position. 

As per an 8-point agreement among the four ruling parties - UML, CPN (Maoist Center), Rastriya Swatantra Party, and Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) - the post of National Assembly Chair would be from the Maoist Center while the post of Vice Chair would be held by the UML. However, after its inclusion in the CPN (Unified Socialist) Party in the coalition, the party, too, staked its claim to the vice-chair position, making the four-party agreement to allocate the position to the UML ‘irrelevant’.

The election to the vice chairperson of the National Assembly will be held on April 10.
