RPP to hold its convention in August end

Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) is holding its general convention in August end this year.

The convention will be held on August 25-27, according to the decision by party central committee meeting. The venue is yet to be fixed. The party has asked its district units to complete their district conventions by mid-August.

The RPP remains few of the mainstream parties that have not sided with outright republican agenda. The coming convention could debate its policy on monarchy, though, say political observers.

Meanwhile, the RPP central committee passed the political resolution tabled by its spokesperson Parshuram Khapung with some changes.

The party has also decided to table amendment proposal on government's policies and programmes at the parliament. nepalnews.com sd Jul 07 07
