Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has expressed the view that holding a general convention before the upcoming national elections may not be appropriate. He voiced concerns that internal competition within the party prior to elections could affect its electoral performance and has reportedly advised party leaders accordingly. However, he clarified that he would not obstruct the decision if the party chooses to hold the convention before the elections.
During a meeting with journalists at his residence in Maharajgunj on Poush 15, Deuba stated that he would remain neutral as he is not a contestant in the 15th general convention. According to party bylaws, he is ineligible to run for the presidency in this convention, and he no longer has a personal interest in the position, encouraging other leaders to step forward.
He dismissed the possibility of a special convention, noting that it could lead to further disputes. He added that a regular general convention could be conducted smoothly through mutual consensus among party leaders.
