The list of central members elected from the first general convention of the National Independent Party has been changed. The Central Election Commission of the Nepali Congress (NCC) has informed that the election of central members was changed in the first general convention held in Chitwan from July 20 to 21.

The NCC has taken a decision on the two people who were previously announced as central members. The NCC had earlier announced that Krishnaman Shrestha was elected from the Janajati cluster. However, the NCC has announced that Dhruv Kumar Thapa Magar has been elected in Shrestha's place.

'During the discussion on correcting the technical error in the announcement of the results of the elected members, while publishing the first result of the members elected in the election for the post of central member, as per the General Convention Election Procedure 2083, Krishnaman Shrestha was elected from the tribal cluster, and after studying the documents and evidence submitted during the vote results and candidacy registration, it was decided to decide that Dhruv Kumar Thapa Magar was elected,' the decision of the RSVP Election Commission has been made.

Similarly, an error has also been corrected in the vote results of another central member. The RSVP has corrected the error by saying that Som Sharma was declared elected in the vote results of Gandaki Province when Pooja Bastola should have been elected. 'In the regional (geography) voting, Pooja Bastola should have been elected based on the results of the Gandaki Province, but Som Sharma was elected. After necessary study of the results, it was decided to declare Pooja Bastola elected as the Gandaki Province, regional (geography) candidate.'

Bastola had filed a complaint with the commission, objecting to the fact that she was not declared elected as a central member despite having more votes.
