Chitwan : Nepali Congress leader Dr. Shashanka Koirala has said that the timeline set for the party’s General Convention is insufficient.
Speaking to the media here today, he stressed that at least three months of preparation are necessary to organise the General Convention. “The time is not sufficient for the event. If it is not possible to hold it within the stipulated timeframe, it will take place after the election announced for March 5, 2026.”\
The NC central committee meeting, which concluded on Monday, has decided to hold the General Convention on January 10–12, 2026.
He expressed the view that everyone associated with the party should prepare for the General Convention and that it should also include participation from Gen Z groups.
Responding to a media query, he said, “I was considering running for the post of party president. Shekhar brother is also in the race. Discussions are ongoing. One of us will contest for the post.”
