KATHMANDU, June 30: The ruling CPN-UML has decided to resurrect its Central Committee prior to May 16, 2018. 

A Standing Committee meeting of the party’s Oli faction, held on Tuesday, decided to summon a meeting of the erstwhile Central Committee for July 2. “The standing committee meeting held  at the Prime Minister's official residence, Baluwatar decided to summon the central committee meeting for July 2, '' said UML spokesperson Pradeep Gyawali.
