Karnali Province Chief Minister Jeevan Bahadur Shahi has announced his candidacy for the post of Nepali Congress joint-general secretary in the party’s upcoming 14th General Convention.
CM Shahi, who is also the NC central member, said that he would compete for the post in the quota allocated for backward regions.
As Shahi's personal secretary Raj Rokaya said, the CM would be filing his candidacy for the joint- general secretary post. Shahi, who represents Humla in the Karnali Province Assembly, also served as the Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation; and the Minister for Water Supplies in the federal government.
He said he was confident that the General Convention would trust him to be at the post of joint- general secretary recognizing his contribution in beginning the culture of the existing power alliance from Karnali though the party has just six seats in the Province Assembly.
CP Mainali has been reelected to the post of general secretary of the CPN-ML yet again.
The closed session of the 8th general convention of the party elected a 59-member central committee including Mainali to the post.
The general convention that commenced on November 13 amended the party statute and increased the central committee members to 81. The central committee meeting to be convened in January next year will delegate responsibilities to other officer-bearers, shared central member Dinanath Ghimire.
The general convention assessed that the British-style parliamentary system failed in Nepal and such a system should be scrapped. The Prime Minister should be directly elected with executive powers and provide for a constitutional Head of State, the party upheld the new ideals.
Similarly, the prime minister be elected directly and the council of ministers should not exceed 15 members, the party statute demanded. "The parliamentarian should not be ordained minister," added Ghimire.
Furthermore, the parliamentary elections should be fully proportional and provinces be scrapped implementing the Nepali model of federalism, the party statute upholds.
Newly reelected general-secretary Mainali said that CPN (ML) will be made a people's party and works will be undertaken to meet the aspirations of the public and country.
