Rastriya Swatantra Party Fails to Hold Madhes Province Conventions Amidst Internal Disputes
Summary
The Rastriya Swatantra Party faces internal disputes in Madhes Province, preventing district and provincial conventions from being held ahead of its first general convention in Chitwan.
Key Points
- The Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) failed to hold district and provincial conventions in seven out of eight districts of Madhes Province due to internal disputes.
- Only Parsa district successfully completed its convention despite initial clashes, with leadership secured by MP Buddhiprasad Pant.
- Disputes escalated partly because Madhes-elected MPs could not integrate into the party organization and former party members resisted the new policies.
- Representatives for the general convention will be selected from municipalities where conventions were held and from ad-hoc committees where they were not, ensuring all districts will be represented despite the disruptions.
