Lalitpur:

There are indications that the Election Commission will not give legitimacy to both the groups of the

Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) which are rehearsing the division of the Central Committee into provinces,

districts and wards and the old committee chaired by Oli and Prachanda will be recognized.

The Election Commission had written to the Prachanda -Madhav group on December 3 to claim the party’s

legitimacy as per Article 44 of the Political Parties Act.

However, the group did not submit a claim to the Election Commission claiming that it had a majority.
