RSP closed session set to begin after two-day delay at Chitwan convention



CHITWAN: The closed session of the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) first general convention is finally set to begin after a two-day delay, with delegates beginning to enter the hall following confirmation of proceedings.

The session, which had been repeatedly postponed due to disputes over delegate representation and internal disagreements, is now moving forward as preparations reach their final stage.

Delegates started entering the convention hall after party leaders informed that the session would commence shortly.

Party leader Samiksha Banskota, speaking from inside the hall, said the arrival of leaders was ongoing and preparations for the session’s start were nearly complete.

“Leaders are still arriving. The closed session is about to begin and everyone is entering the hall,” she said.

According to party sources, once the closed session formally begins, the remaining procedural agenda of the convention will move forward, including discussions on key reports and preparations for internal elections.

The long-awaited session marks a crucial step in concluding the party’s delayed first general convention, which has been affected by disputes over delegate lists and internal factional tensions.

Leaders say the convention is now expected to proceed with its remaining formalities after days of uncertainty and delays.
