The CPN UML has intensified preparations for its second statute convention.

The general convention to dwell on party statute is slated for September 5-7 at Godawari, Lalitpur.

Standing committee member and Publicity Department Chief Rajendra Gautam said that some of the tasks like stage management and gathering of representatives are going on smoothly.

He shared that as many as 2,349 persons, including 2, 033 representatives will be attending the conclave. Those, who were representatives to the 10th general convention of the party, are the present representatives. However, some of them have died, while some quit the party, and some others faced disciplinary action and got removed from membership list. 

As the party rule does not allow fulfilling the vacant posts, there would not be any new representatives, Gautam explained.

Similarly, Secretary at UML Central Office, Dr Bhishma Adhikari, informed that all representatives were invited to the convention via SMS on Sunday.

The party has fixed the slogan for the conclave as 'Decisive national power is our resolution: Prosperous Nepal, happy Nepali is our destination'.

 Three major documents- political, organizational and statute reports- are being printed for the discussion in the event.

The reports of the Election Commission, Discipline Commission, Account Commission and Advisory Council are also in print. 

However, the identity cards for the representatives have already been printed. The identity card can be accessed online as well.

Those entering the Sunrise Hall, venue for the convention at Godawari, need to get their cards scanned on QR code at entry point.

Welcome gate is being prepared by the members of sister organizations and local committees of the party at Satdobato, Lalitpur.
