The election of the new district working committee of CPN-UML in Siraha has been successful. The election of the new working committee has been successful as factions and sub-factions clashed in the district during the session.

UML secretary Raghuveer Mahaseth has one faction and standing committee member Leelanath Shrestha has another faction in Madhesh province. Not only in the province, but also in the eight districts, they have formed factions . The effect of which has also appeared in the Siraha convention.

Sirha is Shrestha's home district . Therefore, he wants to keep his confidant in the leadership of the working committee here . For which he has been trying to unanimously select the working committee for a long time .

However, the leaders of the other faction are not ready for this . They are on the stand that the leadership should be selected through elections following the democratic process. UML leader Phuleshwar Nayak said, "Someone trying to give leadership to their own man is hijacking the party. We want democracy within the party." After Oli left, a meeting was also held for this at night. In which an attempt was made to reach a consensus on selecting the district committee unanimously. However, in the presence of leaders from the district to the center, the meeting ended without a conclusion.

Shrestha wants to make Ram Vilas Sah the unanimous president. Although Shrestha has not officially announced his candidate yet, a representative of the convention said that he is taking initiatives for him.

However, leaders from another group, including outgoing state MP Ashok Yadav, are aspiring for the presidency. "There is an attempt to destroy internal democracy within the party in Sira, which is fatal", Ashok told Kantipur, "We want the leadership to be chosen by the workers and not by criticism." Shrestha has claimed that the leadership will be selected unanimously. "Now the closed session starts, it will be unanimous in Siraha, there are no two votes," Shrestha said to Kantipur. However, he did not disclose who will be the unanimous chairman. About 600 representatives have been selected from 17 local levels of Siraha for the district convention. Which will select a 135-member district working committee .
