The Nepali Congress has called a meeting of its central working committee.

Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba called the meeting to discuss the preparations for the meeting of the Mahasamiti, the party’s highest policy-making, scheduled for February 19-22.

According to Krishna Prasad Paudel, the party’s chief secretary, the meeting will be held at the party’s central office in Sanepa at 1pm on Tuesday.

Around 2,500 leaders and cadres from across the country will participate in the meeting to be held at Godavari, Lalitpur.

As per the party statute, the Mahasamiti meeting should convene every year but the Congress, citing various reasons, has been deferring it ever since the 14th general convention was held in December 2021.
