KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 15
The CPN (Maoist Centre)'s statute, introduced by party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal at the party's inaugural Statute Conference, was passed with amendments on Thursday.
The amended statute was crafted based on recommendations gleaned from group-wise discussions.
Chairman Dahal expressed confidence that the party would progress in a novel direction, highlighting the invaluable recommendations offered by leaders to refine the statute. He emphasized that the feedback received during the party's Statute Conference would play a pivotal role in defending and enhancing the party's stature.
Additionally, Chairman Dahal announced that the CPN (Maoist Centre) would commence preparations for a special general convention following the culmination of the Statute Conference.
He revealed plans for the party to elect its committees through a direct electoral system, grounded in people's democracy, at the upcoming general convention. The Maoist Centre intends to establish a 199-member central committee and an 11-member central office-bearers team from this convention.
Moreover, efforts will be made to enhance the efficacy of provincial committees and address issues related to federalism and the proportional system within the party's statute. Chairman Dahal noted that the party's name and election symbol would be decided in due course, suggesting the potential for change upon the unification of additional communist parties, while maintaining the status quo for now.
Furthermore, Chairman Dahal underscored plans to grant more autonomy to the party's various fronts and expand sister organizations, alongside providing ideological training.
The conference, which commenced on Tuesday at the Nepal Academy in Kamaladi, Kathmandu, saw participants divided into 20 distinct groups.
Throughout the conference, leaders offered suggestions on party leadership, the formation of directly elected committees, potential unification with like-minded political forces, strengthening party organization, governance issues, and more.
