RSP convention: Madhesh delegates participate under ad hoc arrangement amid leadership dispute

Summary

The Rastriya Swatantra Party held its first general convention in Bharatpur amid unresolved organizational disputes in Madhesh Province, where most district conventions were postponed, and delegates participated under ad hoc arrangements.

Key Points
  • The Rastriya Swatantra Party's first general convention began in Bharatpur without holding district conventions in seven out of eight districts in Madhesh Province.
  • Delegates from districts without conventions were selected through existing ad hoc committees due to internal rivalries and disputes within the party.
  • Physical clashes and accusations of favoritism disrupted the organizational process in Madhesh districts, including Siraha, Mahottari, Dhanusha, and Bara.
  • The party postponed the Madhesh provincial convention activities and decided to complete organizational processes post-national convention, selecting delegates temporarily through ad hoc committees.
