KATHMANDU, Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has proposed dissolving the party’s current Central Committee and forming a preparatory committee under his leadership to organize a special party congress.

The proposal was tabled during the party’s 7th full Central Committee meeting held at Pragya Bhawan, Kamaladi, on Thursday. According to Maoist leaders, Prachanda stressed the need for internal elections to be conducted on schedule while keeping focus on the upcoming national polls.

Party insiders say the move is aimed at streamlining the Maoist Centre’s organizational structure and paving the way for leadership transitions through the special congress. The proposal is now under discussion, with representatives from each province expected to provide feedback to the central leadership.
