Congress Begins Preparations for 15th General Convention, Holds Dialogue with Central Representatives

March 21, Kathmandu – The Nepali Congress has initiated the preparation process for its 15th General Convention by holding a dialogue with central representatives assigned to all 77 districts. On Saturday, the party conducted an interaction program in Sanepa with the central representatives who will be deployed to the districts starting from the month of Baisakh (mid-April).

“We have held an informative session at the central office today to clarify to our representative leaders their responsibilities and the tasks they need to perform once they are in the districts,” said General Secretary Pradeep Paudel.

According to the General Secretary, the central representatives will oversee the organization of the membership distribution campaign throughout Baisakh, update existing memberships, implement the regulations prescribed by the party statute for issuing new memberships, and fulfill other assigned duties.

For the General Convention, the Congress has prepared a schedule to actively distribute and update memberships from wards across the country starting from Baisakh 1 until the end of the month. The party plans to run a one-month membership update campaign during Baisakh.

Following the month-long membership update drive, wards are expected to submit the updated active membership lists to the House of Representatives’ electoral constituencies and districts by Jestha 15 (late May). Subsequently, the constituencies and districts must enter the membership data and forward it to the central level by Jestha 25, as per the party’s regulations.

The central committee has set June 29 (Asar 15) as the deadline for conducting the necessary verification of memberships and making the final decisions. The party plans to submit the finalized list of updated active members to the central election committee by the end of Asar (mid-July).

Following the House of Representatives election, the central working committee meeting held on Chaitra 10–11 agreed on a timetable to hold the 15th General Convention in Aswin (October 2–5).

As per the schedule, from Chaitra 21 until the end of the month, membership forms will be distributed from the central level down to the ward level, with representatives deployed across all 165 electoral constituencies.
