The meeting also concluded that the talks with the dissenting parties should be held only on the condition of holding the election on the slated date, party secretary Shankar Pokhrel told media persons after the meeting.



Pokhrel said that the meeting agreed that the poll-opposing parties could be represented on the High Level Political Committee only if the November 19 election was guaranteed.



"Our party is serious regarding addressing the demands of the parties that are dissatisfied with the polls," he said.



Vice Chairperson Bidyadevi Bhandari said the meeting discussed the agenda of the party´s forthcoming Central Committee meeting. The central committee meeting that convened for some days in the third week of July was postponed. It is said the central committee meeting will resume once party chairman Jhalanath Khanal returns from the United States of America.
