UML refloats the idea age bar in active politics

The CPN-UML that has introduced the age limit of 70 years in active politics in its 9th general convention and lifted it after KP Oli became the Prime Minister in 2018, has again revived the debate on the plan.

The CPN-UML in its central committee meeting proposed to retain the age limit of 70 years for participation in the party’s 10th general convention slated for November this year.

If the rule comes into effect, the upcoming convention will be the last one for many leaders of the party. From IswharPokharel to BishnuPaudel and even SubasNembang will cross the age bar in less than five years, which means they would not be able to reach the leadership if they fail to get elected in the 10th convention.
