The Nepali Congress is holding its Central Working Committee meeting at the party's central office, BP Smriti Bhawan, Lalitpur on Thursday.

It has been said that the meeting will focus on matters related to the party's 15th General Convention, as the term of the CWC currently led by President Sher Bahadur Deuba is ending by mid-December. Some leaders had launched a signature campaign calling for a special general convention.

It has been reported that 54 percent of the general convention delegates have signed for a special general convention.

Earlier, in the CWC meeting that began on October 14, party president Sher Bahadur Deuba had given the responsibility of acting president to vice president Purna Bahadur Khadka, citing health reasons. Since then, the working committee meeting has been held under Khadka's chairmanship.

NC President Deuba and his wife Arzu Rana Deuba are currently in Singapore for medical treatment.
