KATHMANDU, July 31: The CPN (Unified Socialist) has formed a three-member taskforce to resolve the issue regarding selection of central committee (CC) members.

The central committee meeting of the party held on Wednesday constituted a three-member task force under the coordination of party Chairman Madhav Kumar Nepal. Senior leader Jhalanath Khanal and General Secretary Ghanshyam Bhusal are the members of the taskforce. The publicity department of the CPN (Unified Socialist) said that the taskforce will work on the number, names, and nominations for the central committee members.

The next CC meeting is scheduled for August 2, which is expected to finalize the CC members. The party’s general convention had only elected 93 CC members out of 299. CPN (Unified Socialist) is looking to pick the remaining 206 CC members.

Party leaders stated that the high number of aspirants has made the selection process difficult. The selection of the remaining 18 office bearers has been delayed due to the delay in the central committee getting full shape. The general convention had selected only three office bearers.
