Prachanda Proposes Special General Convention, Dissolution of Maoist Centre Central Committee

Nepal Communist Party (Maoist Centre) Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has proposed dissolving the party’s existing Central Committee and holding a special general convention this December.

Speaking at the ongoing office bearers’ meeting at the party’s central office in Parisdanda, Prachanda argued that a special convention was essential for building new leadership. He also suggested immediately convening a Central Committee meeting to form a general convention organizing committee.

Highlighting the need for leadership transition and party restructuring, Prachanda reiterated the Maoist Centre’s long-standing policy of breaking continuity in leadership.

Meanwhile, Vice General Secretary Janardan Sharma has recently voiced the necessity of leadership handover and organizational reform. Prachanda’s proposal is being seen as a response to Sharma’s position.
