KATHMANDU: Leaders of the Nepali Congress led by Gagan Thapa have reached the Election Commission to formally update the party’s decisions following the Special General Convention.
The move follows the first meeting of the newly elected Central Working Committee, held earlier on Thursday in Kupandole, Lalitpur, which decided to approach the Commission to record the outcomes of the Special Convention.
Accordingly, party President Thapa, Vice President Sharma and other newly elected office bearers arrived at the Election Commission a short while ago.
Newly appointed party spokesperson Devaraj Chalise said the team was mandated to update all decisions taken by the Special General Convention, including changes related to authorized signatures and proportional representation candidate lists.
“The meeting decided to go to the Election Commission to update the post–Special Convention decisions, change the authorized signatory for candidate purposes, and revise the proportional representation candidate list,” Chalise said.
The Central Committee has decided to replace the signature of former party president Sher Bahadur Deuba with that of Gagan Thapa as the party’s official signatory.
Chalise said the party expects the Election Commission to resolve the dispute over the Nepali Congress’ official status as soon as possible once the documents are submitted.
