Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist–Leninist (CPN-UML) faction led by Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal on May 9 gave an ultimatum until 9am of May 10 (today) to party Chairman and Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to restore party committees’ status to May 16, 2018, for working together and moving ahead as one bloc, reports Khabarhub. At a press meet, leader Yogesh Bhattarai said, “We want to draw the attention of PM Oli towards restoring party committees’ status to May 16, 2018. We will wait until 9 am tomorrow.” Restoring the status of party committees is the faction’s major demand with PM Oli. The faction is adamant about restoring the party’s status to May 16, 2018. If the PM does not address their demand, then Bhattarai hinted that they would submit their resignations to Parliament Secretariat. The faction has postponed mass resignation for the time being.
