Addressing the closed session of the party’s first General Convention on Tuesday, Lamichhane said he did not want a consensus process that could be perceived as favoring some colleagues over others.
Instead, he called for a healthy and democratic contest.
He urged party members to avoid factionalism and internal groupings, stressing that the election should be conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
Lamichhane also requested leaders and delegates not to lobby through phone calls or engage in bloc politics, emphasizing unity and healthy competition within the party.
