A majority of members prevailed on Tuesday in the Secretariat meeting of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP), as Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was forced to agree to discuss the proposal of party Co-chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal, although the PM wanted Dahal to withdraw his proposal.

Oli found himself in minority in the nine-member Secretariat when he said Dahal should withdraw his 19-page proposal, with only party General Secretary Bishnu Prasad Paudel backing the PM.

A Secretariat member told THT that Oli was not in favour of discussing the documents registered in the Secretariat including Dahal’s proposal and Oli’s 38- page rebuttal. Oli demanded that Dahal withdraw his proposal and apologise for ‘false’ accusations made against him in his proposal, but his demand was rejected by seven members, forcing a discussion on both the documents.
