The Nepali Congress has decided to form a task force to bring the issue of constitutional amendment to a meaningful conclusion. The task force will hold discussions with political parties that cooperated in the drafting of the constitution, as well as with experts, specialists, and representatives from concerned civil society groups. It will also be responsible for conducting internal discussions within the party on matters related to constitutional amendment.

The agenda for constitutional amendment was introduced during the agreement between the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML to form a government. However, Congress maintains that simply introducing a bill unilaterally will not achieve the goal, and that the country should instead move forward by building consensus on necessary amendments.

According to Chief Secretary Krishna Prasad Paudel, the task force will be announced within the next two to three days. It will have a coordinator and between five to seven members, depending on necessity and relevance. A senior Congress leader stated that there are internal discussions within the party about appointing former General Secretary Krishna Prasad Sitaula—who played an active role during the constitution drafting process—as the coordinator of the task force.
