CPN (Maoist Centre) plans to elect parliamentary leader after December 18

The CPN (Maoist Centre) has decided to elect a parliamentary leader only after the House of Representatives (HoR) members elected under the proportional representation (PR) system on behalf of the party receive certificates of the election.

 According to chief secretary at the Office of the CPN (Maoist Centre), Shreeram Dhakal, the party deals with no dispute in regard with the nomination of the parliamentary leader and it plans not to go for the process for choosing the leader until its PR members are officially certified.

The Election Commission (EC) is scheduled to present certificates to the candidates elected under the PR system on December 18.

As Dhakal said, existing parliamentary leader and party Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ is highly likely to get elected to the post unanimously.   The party has no differing views in regard with electing the leader unanimously.

 The party has won 18 seats under the first-past-the-post system and 14 towards the PR in the HoR  during November 20 elections.
