KATHMANDU, Sept 2: The Nepali Congress (NC) hasn’t been able to hold its ward-level convention in some districts, including the federal capital Kathmandu at a time when only one day is to go for its pre-scheduled ward convention.
The list of active members has not been disclosed in some districts, including Kathmandu as of now. The uncertainty of convention is looming large because of no disclosure of active member base. It is also because the Election Committee has not made public any statement whether or not to hold elections in the districts that have not disclosed the active membership base.
