NCP Postpones Unity General Convention, Launches Special Mass Campaign
Summary
The Nepal Communist Party has postponed its unification general convention and instead launched a two-month special mass campaign focused on membership renewal, organization building and party adjustment. Leaders say the convention schedule may be revised again as internal debates continue over unity, leadership and possible cooperation with other leftist parties.
Key Points
- The NCP central coordination committee decided to replace the planned unification general convention with a two-month Special Mass Campaign from October 15 to November 15.
- Coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' said the original convention schedule still stands, while spokesperson Prakash Jwala said the event could still be held in Mangsir.
- The party formed a three-member negotiation committee under Dev Gurung to discuss unity with Communist and leftist parties, though leaders said immediate unification with UML is unlikely.
- Internal pressure over leadership change and the impact of recent floods and landslides have complicated the party’s convention timetable.
