Originally scheduled for January 11 and 12, the special convention has extended till today due to ongoing deliberations on various reports.
According to Special General Convention Management Secretariat Coordinator Manoj Mani Acharya, the deliberations are underway on the reports presented by General Secretaries Thapa and Sharma and following the policy-wise decisions, electoral process for the new leadership will move forward.
Sixty-three percent of the general convention delegates registered their names until Monday and this process is still ongoing, said Acharya.
