A meeting of the party's working committee has been called for Friday following the controversy surrounding the Congress general convention.

Party spokesperson Prakash Sharan Mahat has said that the agenda of the meeting will be to finalize the active membership and hold a regular general convention. A meeting of the working committee has been called for 3 pm.

After the party's two general secretaries Gagan Thapa and Bishwaprakash Sharma prepared to call a special general convention on 27-28 Poush, factional disputes have flared up within the party. Under pressure from the general secretaries, the party had brought the schedule of the regular general convention on 26-29 Poush. However, since the issue of active membership across the country could not be finalized, the regular general convention will not be held.

The two general secretaries of the Congress took the risk

Since the regular general convention will not be held, the two general secretaries are preparing to call a special general convention as per the statute. Party President Sher Bahadur Deuba's establishment-oriented leaders are not ready to accept a special general convention. After the regular general convention was not held on the scheduled date, they now seem to be in favor of holding it after the general election on 21 Falgun. The different stances within the party regarding the general convention have sparked controversy in the party on the eve of the elections.
