Foreign Employment Entrepreneurs Association to Hold Special General Assembly on May 7, New Committee to Be Elected

The Nepal Foreign Employment Entrepreneurs Association has scheduled a special general assembly and elections to select new leadership on May 7. The District Administration Office of Kathmandu has granted permission to the interim committee, formed after the resignation of office-bearers, to conduct the assembly and elections. On April 26, the office-bearers, including General Secretary Mahesh Basnet, collectively resigned, following accusations that President Bhuvansingh Gurung acted unilaterally.

After receiving directives from the Kathmandu District Administration Office to operate in an acting capacity as per the association’s constitution, prevailing laws, and established procedures, the path was cleared for the assembly. The issued letter notes that the majority of office-bearers and members tendered their resignations. According to the letter, after the majority resigned, the advisory committee considered the executive committee automatically dissolved per the constitution and decided to establish a management committee to convene the special general assembly.

The management committee is preparing for the special general assembly and the election of new leadership on May 7. The administration has instructed that the process be conducted in accordance with the constitution. Although the office had previously requested necessary information from the association, it was reported that complete details had not yet been received. The management committee requested the administration to ensure no hindrance occurs during the assembly and election preparations, leading to the administration directing the police to provide security arrangements.

The letter highlights complaints that, due to the absence of elections, the association has been unable to represent itself effectively within various government bodies of Nepal, which has adversely affected activities related to the interests of entrepreneurs. The District Administration Office has directed the association to conduct regular operations and proceedings per the constitution and laws, provide timely notifications to affiliated organizations, work in an independent and impartial environment, and avoid any difficulties in lawful activities.
