NCP central members initiate signature campaign to call central committee meeting

KATHMANDU: As many as 53 central committee members of the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) have initiated a signature campaign in a bid to pressurize the party leadership to convene the party’s central committee meeting.

The members held a meeting on Zoom and discussed convening the meeting of the central committee to discuss and thrash out the internal disputes.

The central members took the initiatives to call the meeting at a time when the intra-party feud has touched a new height.

According to them, the meeting of the 441-member central committee will be more impactful than the 45-member Standing Committee.

According to the NCP statute, the leadership will have to call the meeting of the central committee if 25 percent, i.e., 110 members signed the document.
