Janasampark America delegate fight reaches election committee
A dispute over Nepali Congress convention delegates from the U.S. diaspora has moved into a formal complaint.
eNepalese reports that a dispute inside Nepali Janasampark Samiti America has escalated over how delegates are being chosen for Nepali Congress’s 15th general convention. According to the outlet, a dissatisfied faction has filed a formal complaint with the party’s Central Election Committee. The complaint alleges central election representative Dr. Rajan Pant pushed forward names of certain people without completing the required election process, instead of following the party statute, election rules and democratic procedure for delegate selection.
Why it matters: For Nepali-Americans watching homeland politics from the DMV and beyond, this is party process playing out inside the U.S. diaspora. U.S.-based Janasampark structures are part of the delegate path for Nepali Congress’s convention, according to eNepalese.
