KATHMANDU: The Nepali Congress leaders, who are in favour of party’s special general convention, have called for the special general convention as per party’s statute.

Organising a press conference here today, they shared that the special general convention is being held here on coming January 11 and 12.

The leaders determined that the special general convention was indispensable to make the NC strong, dynamic and in favour of the people in the existing difficult political scenario as well as to rebuild the party along with political policy making.

Out of total general convention representatives, 54.58 per cent (2,488) representatives had registered application at the party office on October 15, 2025, demanding a special general convention.

Though the Article 17 (1) of the party statute has clearly mentioned that the party’s 15th general convention should be held within December 1, 2025, it was not held on the slated date, argued the leaders.

There is a provision that a special general convention should be called within three months if 40 per cent members of the general convention make written request for the same.

Central committee members–Ajay Babu Siwakoti, Pratima Gautam, Prakash Snehi, Devraj Chalise, Jagadish Narsingh KC, Subas Pokharel, Manoj Mani Achary, among others said no one has right to neglect such demand.

They also urged all central general convention representatives to participate in the special general convention
