Delay in filling party positions highlights decay in internal democracy

JSP-N and CPN (Unified Socialist) recently held their general conventions, but have delayed filling key positions, opting to handpick office bearers instead of holding elections.

The Janata Samajbadi Party Nepal (JSP-Nepal) concluded its ‘unity general convention’ on June 12, while the CPN (Unified Socialist) completed its ‘national convention’ on July 5. However, both parties have yet to complete their convention procedures.
