The Central Working Committee elected from the second special general convention of the Nepali Congress is set to hold a meeting on Friday at the party’s central office in Sanepa. Gagan Kumar Thapa was elected party president during the special convention held on Poush 30.
Previously, the newly elected committee had been unable to enter the Sanepa office after the then-establishment faction rejected the special general convention. During that period, the party held two meetings of the Central Working Committee and the Parliamentary Board at party palaces and hotels.
According to party spokesperson Devaraj Chalise, the Central Working Committee meeting will be held after President Thapa formally assumes office on Friday. He stated that the committee meeting will convene immediately following the assumption of office.
Due to the ongoing House of Representatives election, most central committee members have traveled to their respective constituencies. As a result, the meeting will be attended only by those central members currently available in the Kathmandu Valley.
Meanwhile, after the Election Commission recognized the committee elected through the special general convention, the faction led by former party president Sher Bahadur Deuba and former acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka filed a writ petition at the Supreme Court, declaring the committee illegitimate. The Supreme Court has summoned both sides for discussions on the matter.
