KATHMANDU: Nepali Congress leader and former minister Kancharam Tamang has stated that while a special convention can be called under party statute, it cannot be used to select the Central Working Committee (CWC).
Speaking to reporters while Deuba’s faction was heading to the Election Commission to claim legitimacy, Tamang said, “One can personally call 10–50 people and appoint a vice president or president, but the law does not allow it. The Nepali Congress rules and statutes do not permit it.”
When asked whether the recent special convention was valid under the party statute, Tamang clarified, “The statute allows calling a special convention, but they do not allow selecting a CWC through it.”
