During the discussion held in the commission, he referred to the Congress statute and clarified that the special general convention was held in accordance with the statute.
Vice President Bishwa Prakash Sharma, elected by the special general convention of the Nepali Congress, has said that the Election Commission has come to update the leadership as the special general convention has changed.
In the discussion held in the commission, he referred to the Congress statute and clarified that the special general convention was held as per the statute.
'The issue of action was not raised when organizing the special general convention. When they took action, we were not the general secretaries. The central working committee had already been dissolved,' he said.
He also reminded that 54.58 percent of the delegates had signed the demand for a special general convention in Asoj.
Sharma said that both the general secretaries disagreed because the regular general convention schedule was impractical.
'The Congress statute states that there will be an office for the central committee and the central working committee. It states that the central office will be under the general secretary. According to the statute, if any party does not implement its statute, that is a violation of the law,' he said.
Only 29 of the special general convention delegates have returned their signatures, he said.
The team led by Gagan Thapa, who was elected president of the special general convention, has reached the Election Commission demanding official status. Earlier, President Sher Bahadur Deuba's faction had also reached the Election Commission.
On Friday morning, Congress acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka and others had submitted a petition to the Commission claiming that they were official.
The Thapa faction had submitted a petition to update the Central Working Committee on Thursday.
