Samajwadi Party on Sunday declared its national executive with Akhilesh Yadav as its national president and uncle Shivpal Yadav as a general secretary.

The SP on Sunday declared its 62-member national executive and released the list on its Twitter handle.
Shivpal Yadav will be among the 14 national general secretaries. The others include Mohammad Azam Khan, Swami Prasad Maurya, Ravi Prakash Verma and Balram Yadav.
While Akhilesh Yadav will continue to hold the post of national president, Kiranmoy Nanda will be national vice president and Ram Gopal Yadav will continue as national principal general secretary.
Sudip Ranjan Sen will be the party treasurer, while there will be 19 national secretaries besides members.
