Former General Secretary of the Nepali Congress, Krishna Prasad Sitaula, has said that despite strategic coordination in the National Assembly, the Nepali Congress will field candidates in only 165 constituencies in the House of Representatives elections.
He said that the Congress will not form an alliance with any party in the House of Representatives and that even the decision of the party's general committee is not in favor of the alliance. Sitaula said in a press conference on Monday that the Congress is not trying to put forward anyone as the future Prime Minister. He said, 'Voting will be based on the organization's momentum and the party's contribution rather than the face and influence of the individual. Not by looking at the individual.'
Sitaula said that there will be no division of the Congress and no special general convention. Since there will be no special general convention, he also appealed to the general convention representatives from across the country not to come to Kathmandu. 'All general convention representatives should engage in district organization and election preparations. You should not come to Kathmandu,' he said.
Targeting the two general secretaries who are in favor of the special general convention, Sitaula said that the party should accept the decision. The Central Working Committee meeting last Friday had decided that the rationale for the special general convention had ended.
He said that the general secretaries should accept the decision and start preparing for the election. Sitaula claimed that the general secretary had not included the agenda of the special general convention in the central working committee meeting earlier. 'General Secretary Gagan Thapa brought the agenda for the regular general convention in Poush but did not bring the flag of the special general convention,' he said. He said that the agenda that was not discussed in the central working committee should not be called a special general convention now, contrary to the party's decision.
He said that the party should not be further weakened by talking about a special general convention when the election is about to be held. When asked whether the general secretaries are saying that they will not contest the election until the current party leadership and policy change, Sitaula said, 'Whether or not to contest the election is a matter of their personal choice.' But after the party decides that there is no justification for a special general convention, it is the responsibility of the general secretaries to implement it.'
