There is doubt that all the provincial conventions will be held before the national convention of the National Independent Party. Disputes have been seen in some local and district-level structures of the Rashtriya Swatantra Party. The Rashtriya Swatantra Party has held four provincial conventions in Koshi, Bagmati, Gandaki and Lumbini, while conventions are scheduled to be held in two provinces, Karnali and Sudurpaschim, on Tuesday. However, the convention in Madhesh Province has become uncertain due to the dispute. The Rashtriya Swatantra Party is holding a general convention in Chitwan on 27-28 Asad.

Of the eight districts in Madhesh Province, only the district convention of Parsa has been completed. According to Bhuwan KC, the head of the Rashtriya Swatantra Party Election Commission, it is difficult to hold a Madhesh Province convention before the general convention. 'The issue of inclusiveness and adjustment has yet to be decided. Since the time of the general convention is approaching and there is also a shortage of time, the possibility of holding a convention in Madhesh is low,' KC said.

Rashtriya Swatantra Party spokesperson Manish Jha said that efforts are underway to hold the Madhesh Province convention before the general convention. "The district convention except for Parsa has been stopped due to some disputes regarding representatives in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Madhesh Province. Efforts are being made to resolve some disputes in the district and hold the provincial convention before the general convention, otherwise there is no option but to hold it after the general convention," he said. RSSPA Election Commission Deputy Chief Ram Gurung informed that discussions are underway to hold the Madhesh convention.

Chandra Rai has been elected as the RSSPA Koshi Province President. He took the leadership by defeating Sarin Tamang. Rai received 280 votes in the Koshi Province President election. Tamang received 141 votes, Chandra Kumar Gauli received 27 votes, and Khagendra Katuwal received only 41 votes. Sarin Tamang was the outgoing acting president of the RSSPA Koshi Province. After being defeated for the presidency, she announced her departure from the party.

She has alleged that she was defeated by issuing a whip from the center. She wrote, "Maybe I didn't know how to set up many settings and panels, this is because the wounds of factionalism are hurting Koshi. But this is my straightforwardness, my straightforwardness is hurting everyone today. I don't know how to do politics, my weakness is mine," she wrote on social media. She alleges that people were mobilized and whips were issued in the convention against the party's procedures and rules.

The request letter issued by General Secretary Kabindra Burlakoti to all MPs on 21 Jestha in the Bagmati, Gandaki and Lumbini provincial conventions of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has been violated. Burlakoti had issued the letter after the MPs themselves entered the competition for the leadership of the district and provincial committees. "Amidst the intense parliamentary responsibilities and the overwhelming workload of the constituency, it seems that it may be practically challenging and burdensome for them to handle organizational responsibilities in a geography other than their own constituency," Burlakoti wrote in the letter. "It is requested that the party's policy is to encourage members of the federal parliament to focus on their parliamentary role and strategic role at the policy-making level while remaining in the party's central structure."

The outgoing president of the House of Representatives and the outgoing president of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has been defeated in Bagmati Province. Utsav Aryal has been elected as the president of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He had earlier defeated the president, MP Achyutham Lamichhane, by a margin of 2 votes. Aryal won by getting 416 votes, while Lamichhane received 414 votes. Two members of the House of Representatives had filed their candidacies for the post of Bagmati Province President. Lamichhane, elected from Nuwakot 2, was defeated, while Badan Kumar Bhandari, elected from Kavre 2, had his candidacy for the post of president rejected.

Lamichhane had said that the one-post-one-person policy in the party would weaken the leaders. Lamichhane had rejected the correspondence sent by General Secretary Burlakoti to federal MPs asking them not to take the leadership of provinces and districts. ‘One post is a weakness for one person, everyone involved in politics should understand that,’ he had said, ‘The General Secretary (Burlakoti) is an MP and chief whip, we do not consider this a position. If he were not an MP, he would not have been the chief whip. It is a question of where to go and where to go.’ He had objected to the issue of one post-one-person being raised to prevent the incumbent president from standing anywhere. After a dispute arose during the Bagmati Province convention that began in Hetauda, ​​the election was moved to Kathmandu.

The district convention except Parsa has been stopped due to some disputes regarding representatives in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Madhesh Province. Efforts are being made to resolve the district disputes and hold the province convention before the general convention, otherwise there is no option but after the general convention. -Manish Jha, RSSP spokesperson Naveen Tripathi has been elected as the Gandaki Province President of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He defeated MP and outgoing president Rajan Gautam. Tripathi got 236 votes, while Gautam got 185 votes. Presidential candidates Madhav Prasad Kandel and Hari Bahadur Karki got 11 votes and 2 votes, respectively. Announcing his candidacy for the Gandaki Province President, MP Gautam objected to General Secretary Burlakoti's letter. He was elected as a member of the House of Representatives from Nawalpur 1.

'It is the responsibility to form a party along with the law. I should be able to say that I will form a party by making a law. The parliamentary role and the role of the party are different things,' Gautam said. Gautam alleged that such a decision may have been taken by the General Secretary to prevent those who are leading the local and district committees of the party from contesting for local and provincial assembly seats in the coming days. While Gautam was expressing this opinion, General Secretary Burlakoti was present at the same event.

The second round of elections for the RSVP Lumbini Province President was held after the timing of the election was fixed. In the first round of elections, no candidate for the Lumbini Province President received a majority (50 percent plus 1) as per the provisions of the party statute, so re-voting was announced. After that, the candidate who received the most votes was supported by the candidate who received the second most votes.

There were 6 candidates for the Lumbini Province President. Shalikram Ghimire received 199 votes, Gopal Ghimire received 87 votes, Ganesh Poudel received 84 votes, Rajkumar Subedi received 80 votes, Manju Bhusal received 71 votes, and Madhu Prasad Aryal received 19 votes. Gopal supported Shalikram after the second round of elections for the President was held. Manju Gyawali Bhusal, who received only 71 votes for the RSVP Lumbini President, is a proportional member of the House of Representatives.

The RSVP Karnali convention has begun in Birendranagar, the provincial capital of Surkhet, from Sunday. The convention, attended by 505 delegates, was inaugurated by General Secretary Bhupdev Shah.
