Central leaders to be general convention delegates

Kathmandu, June 16: The CPN (Unified Socialist) has made a provision that the central leaders do not need to be approved by the lower level cadres to become general convention delegates.

Jagannath Khatiwada, Head of the Central Publicity Department said that a rule has been made to allow the Central Committee members to become convention delegates, as some leaders could not be elected due to the arrangement of election from the lower units of the party. The members of the central commission will also be selected as delegates along with the central leaders.

Since the system of being elected from different constituencies and clusters has been maintained, the representative coming from the particular constituency and cluster must be approved by the lower level workers.

One delegate will be selected for every 125 cadres while Dalits, youth and women will be proportionally represented.

The 10th general convention of the party to select the new leadership is being held from June 30 to July 4.
