Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa has proposed a constitutional limit allowing an individual to serve no more than two terms as prime minister. The proposal was included in a political report he presented at the party’s 15th general convention.

The report also calls for a “none of the above” option on ballots, voting rights for Nepalis living abroad and a more participatory and transparent electoral system. Thapa said corruption would not be protected.

Key proposals in Thapa’s report

  • Limit any individual to a maximum of two terms as prime minister
  • Introduce a “none of the above” option in elections
  • Extend voting rights to Nepalis abroad
  • Make the electoral system more participatory and transparent

The proposals were presented as part of Thapa’s political report at the Nepali Congress convention.
