Voting is underway today to elect the leadership of the CPN-UML. The voting was postponed on Tuesday night due to a technical problem with the electronic voting machine. Voting is set to begin at 8 am this morning.
There is also a tug of war for the leadership selection in this eleventh general convention of UML. The competition is fierce between Chairman KP Sharma Oli and Senior Vice President Ishwor Pokharel. Both parties have entered the election field by forming a panel.
But everyone is interested in who will win the leadership of UML this time. UML representatives are also divided for the selection of UML leadership. Some representatives are in favor of voting in the panel, while most of the representatives seem to have a slightly different mindset. They are open to the need for a mixed leadership to maintain UML unity.
They have said that UML will be strong and dynamic if good candidates from both parties are selected and won. Judging by the mindset of the general convention representatives, there is a high possibility that the selection of office bearers and central members will be mixed in this election. The candidates in the competition between the Oli and Pokharel panels are leaders who have worked and contributed to the party for a long time in the past.
According to the general convention representatives, the candidates have worked for a long time in the party life of the UML and are in favor of having balanced candidates in this leadership selection. However, both sides are continuing their efforts to win the panel from top to bottom!
In particular, the Ishwor Pokharel faction is trying to influence the mood of the leaders who were not able to become candidates in the establishment faction to achieve results in their favor, while the establishment faction is trying to manage the situation in the coming days by luring dissatisfied leaders.
This time's UML general convention looks like the ninth general convention. In the ninth general convention, current presidential candidate KP Sharma Oli defeated Madhav Kumar Nepal. At that time, Oli defeated Madhav Kumar Nepal, and the election results were mixed, and candidates from both parties won from office bearers to the central committee.
