The press release also expressed confidence that the party center will understand its responsibility and take ownership of the project.
In a press release, supporters of the special general convention have stated that the special general convention should be held by December 11 and that no one has the right to violate this mandatory provision of the statute.
In a press release issued by them at a press conference on Wednesday, it was said, 'This is not a matter of desire or choice, but a binding provision of the statute.'
The press release also expressed confidence that the party center will understand its responsibility and take ownership of the project. They have formed 18 subcommittees to hold the special general convention and have also made public the details of their coordinators.
Before the press conference, Congress special general convention party leader Devraj Chalise said that although many were in doubt whether the special general convention would take place or not, the special general convention will definitely take place from today.
Chalise said, 'There is no organization bigger than the special general convention in the party. No one has the status to challenge the legitimacy of the general convention. We will not do that just because the party leadership has become irresponsible.' The debate is going on in the party whether it is politics for power or for values and change.'
He mentioned that there is a tendency to take up positions at will from proportional representation to the National Assembly, and said, 'The party has seen a tendency to trade even for ashes. We are against that.'
A petition signed by 54 percent of the representatives on 29 Asoj demanding a special general convention has been registered at the central office. According to the statute, the deadline for calling a special general convention within 3 months of registering the petition is 28 Pus. After it was determined that there would be no regular general convention during that period, General Secretaries Gagan Thapa and Sharma have decided to call a special general convention in Kathmandu on 27-28 Pus.
