The parties other than the establishment of the Congress have prepared to file a petition demanding a special convention with the signatures of more than fifty percent of the central representatives before the meeting of the central working committee on Sunday. This step has created a lot of pressure on the party leadership, and there is also a difference between the leaders regarding fixing the date of the regular convention in November.
The tension between the establishment and the dissatisfied party is increasing over the demand for a special convention, which has also started to question the internal unity of the party. According to Gururaj Ghimire, campaigner of the demand for a special convention, work is being done to collect and collect signatures from all over the country. He has claimed that the signatures of more than fifty percent of the central representatives have been received.
Before Sunday's central working committee meeting, he said that he is preparing to register a petition explaining the reason for the special convention demand with signatures. "We have already collected the signatures." Now we are preparing to submit a petition to the party office Sanepa in Sunday's meeting, said Ghimire. However, intense dissatisfaction within the party regarding this campaign Seen .
The leaders of the founding party have strongly opposed the demand for a special convention in the meeting of office bearers and ex-officers held at the party office in Sanepa. The leaders standing in favor of Chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba argued that it is not possible to hold a regular convention within November and termed the demand for a special convention as 'unnecessary'.
They have warned that such a campaign will weaken the party and disrupt internal unity. On the other hand, the dissatisfied party has said that the demand for a special convention can be postponed if there is an agreement to set the date of the regular convention within November.
Ghimire said, "We are currently waiting for the outcome of the ongoing meeting of officials and ex-officers in Sanepa". If the date of the regular convention is fixed within November, we are ready to postpone the demand for a special convention . However, if the office bearers do not show readiness, we will submit the application on Sunday itself.
The central working committee itself can call a special convention if it deems it necessary in the constitution of the Congress. If the central working committee does not call, there is a provision that a special convention can be convened with the signature of forty percent of the convention delegates. There is a mandatory provision in the statute to call a special convention within three months if a request is made with the signature of forty percent of the central representatives.
Ghimire said that according to the constitution of the party, he will leave no stone unturned to advance the demand for a special convention. Party General Minister Gagan Thapa has also said that if regular convention is not possible within November, they are in favor of proceeding with the process of special convention. Although the tenure of the Central Working Committee will end at the end of November, he has taken a stand that he will not put a proposal to extend the term in the meeting. There should be a regular convention within November. If that is not possible, the process of special convention will go ahead, Thapa has been saying.
With this stance of his, it has been seen that the polarization between those who want a special convention and those who do not want it will increase . The founding party is arguing that there is practical difficulty in holding a regular convention within November. According to the leaders of the founding party, they are arguing that the convention is not possible in a short period of time as it takes time for the necessary preparations for the convention, distribution of new active membership, organizational structure and financial management.
'It is not possible to hold a convention within November . Everyone knows this. It is not right to create unnecessary controversy within the party by demanding a special convention,' said an official from an establishment party.
The dissatisfied party against Chairman Deuba wants to change the leadership immediately through a special convention. On the other hand, the founding party is not trying to hold a convention before the election announced on November 1. In the meantime, there is discussion on the option of Chairman Deuba taking the leadership by himself and giving Deputy Chairman Purna Bahadur Khadka the responsibility of Acting Chairman or dissolving the current central working committee and forming a small convention preparation committee under the coordination of a leader.
The central working committee meeting starting from Sunday seems to determine how the dispute within the Congress will go on whether or not to take a concrete decision on whether to set the date of the regular convention within November or how to address the demand for a special convention. If there is no agreement on whether to call a regular or a special convention within November, it is seen that the dispute within the Congress will become complicated .
