KATHMANDU: The Upendra Yadav-led Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) is anticipating 20,000 participants at its first national convention, according to the organizers.
“The party is organizing its first national convention on June 10 and is expecting as many as 20,000 participants in its inaugural session,” stated Manish Suman, the party’s spokesperson.
“We are expecting both national and foreign leaders and party cadres at the session. We have also invited leaders from other parties,” Suman added.
So far, Madhav Kumar Nepal, Chairman of CPN (Unified Socialist), and Netra Bikram Chand, Secretary General of the Nepal Communist Party, have confirmed their participation in the convention, according to Suman.
In addition to Nepal and Chand, the party has extended invitations to KP Sharma Oli, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Rabi Lamichhane, and CK Raut, among other leaders. These leaders have yet to announce their decisions regarding attendance.
However, the party has excluded the splinter faction led by Ashok Rai from the event. “They are not part of our party anymore,” said Suman.
The party is also expecting some socialist leaders from India to attend.
The convention will culminate in the election of the party’s central committee members on June 12.
