A meeting of the committee held this morning took the decision in this regard.

The CPN (UML) provincial committee has also formed a three-member election committee under coordination of lawyer Chudamani Acharya where Prem Pokharel and Tikaram Puri are the members for the same.

Leaders—Bhim Acharya, Sherdhan Rai and Jeevan Ghimire, have been claiming for the post.

The parliamentary party leader would become the chief minister as the CPN (UML) has majority in province no 1.
