Maoist Center Responds to Criticism, Adds 22 Women Leaders to Central Committee

The Central Committee of Nepal’s ruling CPN-Maoist Center, based in Kathmandu, has taken a significant step towards inclusivity by expanding its membership. The move comes in response to growing concerns and criticism about the party’s lack of adequate representation for women within its committees.

To address this issue, the Maoist Center has incorporated 22 accomplished women leaders into its ranks, effectively increasing its central committee’s size to an impressive total of 407 members.

The newly added women leaders bring diverse experiences and expertise to the party’s decision-making body. Among the prominent names joining the central committee are Ang Dawa Sherpa, Indira Adhikari, Uma Kapali, Urmila BK, Ganga Khadka, Gita Kumari Kandel Chaulagain, Geeta Shahi, and Chham Kumari Khanal.

Additionally, the Maoist Center has welcomed Dilmaya Budhamagar, Nirmaya Sris, Neesha Neupane, Parvati Thapa, Bhagwati Tiwari, Motikala Chaane, Lal Kumari Pun, Leela Sharma, and Sapana Pariyar as essential members of the central committee. The new members’ credentials and commitment to social and political causes are expected to contribute significantly to the party’s objectives.

Furthermore, the inclusion of Sita Dahal, Sushila Ghimire, Sushila Poudal, Surya Kumari BK, and Sharu Chaudhary in the central committee reinforces the party’s dedication to embracing a more diverse and balanced representation.
