Indian-American Seema Nanda to step down as CEO of Democratic Party
Seema Nanda
Indian-American lawyer Seema Nanda on Saturday announced her decision to step down as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee, the top administrative position in the main Opposition party, ahead of the presidential elections in November, reported news agency PTI.
Nanda, 48, became the first Indian-American to be appointed as the CEO of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in June, 2018. She did not give any reason for leaving the top position, the report added.
The Washington Post reported that Nanda's sudden exit from the DNC was part of the effort of the former US Vice President Joe Biden who is the presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party.
She would be replaced by Mary Beth Cahill, who had previously managed John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign.
"After two years, I will be stepping down as CEO of the DNC. I couldn't be prouder of the infrastructure we have built, the primary process we have run, and the team we have built," Nanda announced in a tweet on Friday.
