KATHMANDU: The Nepali Congress statute grants the party president the authority to nominate leaders to various positions within the party. Under the statute, the president can nominate four joint general secretaries.
The president can also nominate 61 central working committee members. The statute also allows the president to select the party treasurer from among the nominated central members.
The party’s organisational structure has been expanded through this General Convention, with several new positions added. One woman general secretary, one senior vice president and one vice president have been added.
Likewise, some additional provisions have been introduced for the posts of joint general secretaries. Apart from office-bearers elected by the General Convention, the party president will nominate leaders to various positions under the authority granted by the statute.
As a result, the party president will have a significant role in expanding the Nepali Congress Central Working Committee. In particular, the president’s decision will be decisive in selecting nominated central members, joint general secretaries and the treasurer.
