The 15th General Convention Must Transfer Party Responsibility to a New Generation: Dilendra Badu

March 6, Kathmandu – Nepali Congress leader Dilendra Prasad Badu has emphasized the need for leaders and activists to actively participate in the 15th General Convention to strengthen the party, ensuring it remains fully disciplined and united, while entrusting responsibilities to a new generation. In a statement released Monday via the social media platform Facebook, he urged leaders and members to advance toward the 15th General Convention as per the party’s public schedule.

“At a time when democracy and its achievements face increasing challenges, and when it is essential to advance the new generation along the democratic path as a constructive and responsible opposition, it is necessary for Nepali Congress to become stronger, more accountable, and united,” the statement said.

Regarding the party’s Supreme Court’s interpretation and orders, he clarified that whatever the ruling may be, it must be accepted by all. He added, “It is not appropriate to waste time in speculative analysis over potential consequences that might arise by delaying the election process or holding a special convention while awaiting court decisions or scrutinizing the background.”

Highlighting internal weaknesses within the party along with changing voter preferences as reasons for election results falling short of expectations, Badu described the outcome as historically weak. “This is a bitter truth. Given the current circumstances, the party chairperson has already publicly accepted moral responsibility for the results,” he wrote.
