As the vote counting of Nepali Congress (NC) CWC draws a close, the final shape of the CWC has become quite clear.  The general convention has elected the president, a general secretary, a treasurer and 61 CWC members. The party president will now nominate a vice president, a general secretary and a deputy general secretary from among the 61 elected CWC members.  He will also nominate 21 CWC members with at least one Madhesi, Muslim, Woman, Dalit and Mongol each.  His nominations need to be passed by the elected CWC.

Paudel is in a mood to stay neutral as he is faced with an anomaly about supporting a particular faction. Paudel is considered to be close to acting President Koirala, and it is quite certain that he will support Koirala if he has to choose between the two. However, Paudel is caught in a moral dilemma as he was proposed by Deuba as a candidate for the post of the Prime Minister. Deuba, who had also claimed stake for the candidacy for PM withdrew at the last moment for the sake of Paudel. Paudel himself was considered a presidential candidate in the party before the prime ministerial race began. He is still a hopeful candidate for party president in the upcoming general convention. So, he does not want to make any foes in the party. His close ai...
