KATHMANDU, Jan 14: Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that he is flexible to keep intact the unity within the party.
Discussions were held on Wednesday between party President Deuba and general secretary duo Gagan Thapa and Bishwa Prakash Sharma for resolving the dispute that has arisen within the party in the context of the Special General Convention underway in Kathmandu at the call of the rival faction.
NC Spokesperson Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat shared that during the discussions held in the morning at Deuba's residence in Maharajgunj, Deuba stated that he has been working in the past to preserve the party's unity and is still ready to make sacrifices today as well.
During the meeting, President Deuba had urged General Secretaries Thapa and Sharma also to be ready to preserve the unity of the party.
How to become more flexible
According to Spokesperson Dr Mahat, Deuba stated that he is ready to give up regarding the demand to withdraw his official signature submitted in the election for ticket distribution on behalf of the party.
A decision was made at the previous Central Working Committee meeting of the NC, and the signed document of President Deuba was sent to the EC for the distribution of party tickets to candidates contesting the election on behalf of the party.
Accordingly, the party's Proportional Representation (PR) tickets for the National Assembly elections to be held on February 25 and for the House of Representatives on March 5 have already been distributed. Now, only the allocation of tickets for the first-past-the post election category remains.
Other matters, including the special general convention, were discussed among them and President Deuba requested to finalize those issues through the central working committee.
Spokesperson Dr Mahat stated that the general secretaries Thapa and Sharma, after discussing matters with President Deuba, left the meeting with the intention of consulting with colleagues present at the special convention.
