Nepali Congress leader Dr. Shekhar Koirala has put forward a five-point proposal aimed at fostering party unity and resolving disputes, particularly concerning the upcoming 15th general convention. The proposals, presented to party president Gagan Thapa, address issues such as active membership, the formation of central working committees, and the establishment of various party committees through mutual agreement. The situation remains tense as internal differences persist, with Koirala's camp expressing concern over the lack of dialogue following the proposal's submission.

• Koirala's proposals include not making active membership updates mandatory for the 15th general convention and conducting it based on memberships renewed after the 14th convention.
• He also suggested merging the central working committees from the 14th and special general conventions into a single body.
• The proposals advocate for forming a work execution committee with the president holding a majority, while other committees like election and disciplinary committees should be formed by mutual consensus.
• Koirala's personal secretary stated that Gagan Thapa had initially agreed to the proposals but has since been unreachable, prompting Koirala to make them public.
• Separately, Manish Koirala was appointed as the central president of Nepal Tarun Dal, the youth wing of the Nepali Congress.
