Nepali Congress General Secretaries Gagan Thapa and Bishwaprakash Sharma have decided to hold a special general convention on Poush 10-11, even though the party establishment party is not ready. Subash Pokharel, a leader in favor of the special general convention, informed that this decision was taken after discussions with the party supporters on Wednesday and Thursday.
He said that the Bhrikritimandap hall has also been booked for the special general convention. 'In the meantime, there is a matter of urging the acting president to implement the provisions made by the statute. If the acting president himself does not call it, the general secretaries are obliged to call it to comply with the statute,' he said.
Leaders in favor of the special general convention are holding a press conference on Friday to provide formal information in this regard. It has been decided that the acting president will be urged to call the special general convention, but if he is not called, the general secretaries will call it. 54 percent of the Congress's general convention delegates have submitted a petition to the party's central office in Sanepa on Asoj 28 demanding a special general convention.
The party statute has a mandatory provision that if forty percent of the delegates request a special general convention with their signatures and submit a petition, it must be called within three months. However, after the establishment party tried to move forward by ignoring the mandatory provisions of the statute, the general secretaries were forced to call a special general convention, said another leader Baldev Timilsena.
In order to make the special general convention ineffective, a schedule was also brought with the agreement of the establishment party to hold a central general convention from December 26 to 28. The schedule was affected after the distribution and renewal lists of active membership were not received from all districts.
After that, General Secretaries Thapa and Sharma had proposed to hold only ward and regional conventions to hold the central general convention on the specified date. The door to holding a central general convention opens after the ward and regional conventions are held. However, Pokharel said that since the establishment party was not ready for it, the application for a special general convention registered on September 28 has been active.
