He added, ”Now no one should resort to cheating and averting the convention. If you feel that even that cannot be done, then you should go straight to holding a special convention without any hesitation.”
What you should know
Congress General Secretary Gagan Thapa has proposed to hold the central general convention directly after holding ward and regional conventions. Thapa proposed to hold the general convention directly after holding two-level conventions in the Central Working Committee meeting on Wednesday due to the time pressure to hold all-level conventions.
After the ward and House of Representatives area conventions, the door opens for the central general convention. Regional representatives are elected from the ward conventions and those representatives elect the central general convention representatives at the provincial convention. Thapa has said that the central general convention cannot be held within the schedule of the upcoming Poush 26-29 by holding conventions at all seven levels of the Congress. However, the establishment party is not accepting Thapa's proposal.
If this proposal is not accepted, he has an alternative proposal to go to a special general convention. He said that the distribution of active membership forms has been stopped intentionally in some districts and that he is working to ensure that it is not stopped. He said, "But looking at the situation, it seems that active forms are being stopped with the intention of not holding the convention. Now, without getting confused, we should go straight to the ward, area and central conventions."
He has been adamant that the party's policy and leadership should be changed before the Falgun 21 elections. He added, "Now, no one should go down the path of avoiding the convention by cheating." If you feel that even that cannot be done, then you should go directly to a special convention without any hesitation.'
The meeting of the Central Working Committee, which began on Wednesday, is still ongoing at the party office in Sanepa.
