A majority of 315 Central Committee Members of ruling Nepal Communist Party on Tuesday voted for taking disciplinary action against KP Sharma Oli and replaced him with another leader as chairman, Madhav Kumar Nepal.
The Central Committee Meeting convened by Pushpa Kamal Dahal-Madhav Kumar Nepal faction decided to expel Oli from the post of party chairman and replace him with Nepal.
"Oli has taken steps against historic political change, constitution, democracy and values of party as well as against party unification. He violated the party discipline for which he will be charged with disciplinary offences and he has been removed from the post of party chairman," Narayan Kaji Shrestha, spokesperson for the Dahal-Nepal faction told reporters late on Tuesday afternoon after the meeting was over.
