The Standing Committee of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) on September 11 passed the agenda prepared jointly by the two co-chairpersons of the party — KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal — and decided to give Dahal executive powers to run the party, reports The Himalayan Times. The meeting also decided that the party would not interfere in Oli’s day to day work as PM, but on key governance policies and issues of national importance, Oli would have to follow the party’s guidelines. The party body decided to hold NCP General Convention in Kathmandu from April 7-12 and its Central Committee meeting from October 31 to November 2.
