World Nepali Congress Mahasamiti meeting cuts President's power
Nepali Congress Mahasamiti meeting has limited the authority of the President with the decision to elect 75 per cent of its Central Committee members from the general convention. The Mahasamiti, which concluded in Kathmandu, has decided to elect about 75 per cent of the 85-member Central Working Committee (CWC) from the general convention. The present constitution of the party has given excessive powers to the President including the nomination of 50 per cent members and all the office-bearers. There was criticism of Nepal Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala as he had nominated the members and office-bearers without consulting the elected members. Nepali Congress leader Krishna Prasad Sitaula said, ''61 CWC members will be elected by the general convention, with the 25 from open contest, one each from 14 zones, and 22 from reserved quotas. In the reserved quota, six seats has been allocated for women, five for Dalits, five for ethnic communities, five for Madhesis and one for Muslim.'' The General convention of the party will directly elect the President, a General Secretary and a Treasurer while the party president will have the power to propose the elected Central Committee 21 members and three officials including a Vice-President, a General Secretary and a Deputy General Secretary from among the elected CWC members. Likewise, the President will propose 21 CWC members with at least one representative each from women, Dalit, Madhesi, Muslim and ethnic communities to the elected CWC. -- (UNI) -- 05DF3.xml
