It has replaced Bhim Acharya with Subash Chandra Nembang as Province 1 incharge, Ashta Laxmi Shakya with Ishwar Pokharel in Province 3, Janardan Sharma with Mani Thapa, who is a former Maoist, in Karnali and Bhim Rawal with Lekh Raj Bhatta, also a former Maoist, in Far West.
The Oli faction has already removed Narayan Kaji Shrestha as spokesperson and replaced him with Pradeep Gyawali.
The faction of Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal had removed Oli as CPN chairman and replaced him with Nepal on Tuesday. It then unanimously elected Dahal as parliamentary party leader replacing Oli on Wednesday.
