The meeting of party office-bearers on Thursday has decided to unanimously elect Dahal its parliamentary party leader, according to Deputy General Secretary Giriraj Mani Pokharel. “The parliamentary party will endorse the decision of the office-bearers’ meeting,” Pokharel added.
The meeting has also picked Hit Raj Pandey as its chief whip.
