16 people who joined the Balendra Shah faction in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) have not filed their candidacies for the party's central membership. After the agreement of cooperation between RSS President Ravi Lamichhane and the then Mayor of Kathmandu Balendra Shah before the elections, 26 members had become members from Balendra's faction.

However, some of them, including those who were elected MPs, have filed their candidacies for the election contest, while the rest have not filed their candidacies. Those who have not filed their candidacies include Sunil Lamsal, Bhupdev Shah, Laxman Tharu, Ramesh Poudel, Santosh Giri, Sarita Gyawali, James Karki, Laxmi Bardeva, Anantaraj Ghimire, Ramkumar Dhungana, Pradeep Gyawali, Madhusudhan Dhakal, Ojaswi Thapa, Aditya Acharya, Pradeep Pandey, Khemraj Saud, and others. Home Minister Sudhan Gurung, who contested the election from the RSS and became the Home Minister, has also not filed his candidacy.

Chairman Lamichhane had said in the last meeting before the general convention that there could be injustice if there is a similar competition between those who came four months ago and have been in the party for four years. A leader from the Balendra faction says, 'This is also a convention of unity, we have never claimed to be a general convention representative separately. In such a case, this time there has been a matter of going through the nominee.'

Lamsal has claimed the post of vice-president and Shah the post of general secretary from this group in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Leaders say that both are likely to become vice-presidents and general secretaries from the nominees.

According to the proposed statute, there is a provision for 136 members, including the president, in the party's central committee. Of these, 99 will be elected from the general convention, while the remaining members will be nominated by the president. Leaders say that preparations are underway to include the Bibeksheel Sajha and the Tharuhat Andolan adjusted parties from the nominated quota.

So far, Ravi Lamichhane has been elected as the president, while Prime Minister and senior leader Balendra Shah will be the senior leader. The three vice-presidents will be one open, one woman and one nominated. RSVP leaders say that Swarnim Wagle is a strong contender for the open vice-president position. So far, no one has been seen competing with Swarnim Wagle for the open vice-president position. In that case, leaders say that there is a strong possibility of elections for women vice-presidents, general secretaries and joint general secretaries among the office bearers. However, efforts are being made to reach an agreement on the posts of women vice-presidents, general secretaries and joint general secretaries.

If an election is held for women vice-presidents, Law Minister Sobita Gautam, Treasurer Lima Adhikari, and General Administration Minister Pratibha Rawal are possible candidates. There is talk that Dr. Toshima Karki is a possible candidate for one of the vice-presidents or general secretaries.

If no consensus is reached on the open general secretary, outgoing general secretaries Kabindra Burlakoti, Bipin Acharya, Shishir Khanal, Manish Jha, Ganesh Parajuli, and Yagyamani Neupane are likely to become candidates. If no candidate is nominated for the post of female vice president, Dr. Karki is also being considered as a contender for the post of general secretary.
