The newly elected central committee members and office bearers of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) is taking their oath of office today. According to the party, 99 central committee members and 7 office bearers who got elected from the general convention last Friday will be sworn in at the party central office in Chamati on Wednesday.
First Meeting and Nomination Process
After the oath ceremony is over, the newly elected central committee will hold its first meeting. This meeting will start the process to nominating the remaining office bearers and central committee members. According to the party rules, the party president has the authority to nominate these remaining members and present their names in the central committee.
Out of the total 158 members in the RSP central committee, 99 members are elected through the voting process, while the rest of the members will be nominated by the party president. Similarly, out of 19 office bearers, 7 of them including the president are already elected, and the president will nominate the remaining ones.
Adjusting Merged Groups in Leadership
Before the general convention, RSP had amended its statute to increase the number of nominated office bearers and central committee members. This was done to accommodate leaders who joined RSP from the Prime Minister Balendra Shah group and the Bibeksheel Sajha party.
The party decided to use nominations because it was felt that these joined groups might find it hard to get representation through direct elections in the convention. To solve this, a mutual agreement was made to bring them into leadership through nominations. Just before the convention, the party created about 12 extra positions, including senior leader, vice-president, general secretary, and joint general secretary, with plans to accommodating the Balen group.
