KATHMANDU: Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has proposed holding the party’s special general convention in December and dissolving all party committees from the central to local level.
In the party office bearers’ meeting held on Sunday, Prachanda said the current political context demands a special convention to elect a new leadership.
“The situation is special. Let’s hold a special general convention and elect a new leadership,” he said during the one-hour-long meeting.
As per the process, the office bearers’ meeting will forward Prachanda’s proposal to the Central Committee for endorsement. Once approved, all existing party structures — from the grassroots to the central level — will be dissolved, and a General Convention Organizing Committee will be formed.
The committee will be tasked with organizing the special general convention in December.
Prachanda also proposed calling an emergency meeting of the Central Committee within a week to formally initiate the process.
During the meeting, he spoke at length on the current political situation and the need for the Maoist party to take decisive steps amid changing national dynamics.
