Chairman of the CPN (UML) has been re-elected to the post for the second term defeating his rival Bhima Bahadur Rawal with a very large margin in the 10th National Congress of the party.
The formal result of the election is yet to be announced.
The Congress of the party had resorted to elections after a consensus could not be made in the nomination list prepared by incumbent Chair Oli as entrusted by the closed-door session of the Congress.
According to the election committee of the UML, Oli got 1840 votes against Rawal’s 213 votes. Of 2,153 representatives, 2096 had cast the votes.
