Samanta Sharmin, Senior Joint Convenor of the NCP, has called for a new constitution and a constituent assembly, arguing that the current constitution is controversial and serves partisan and individual interests. She pointed out that the existing parliamentary system had been centered around a single individual, and even the country’s ministries and secretariats had long been run under a centralized, one-party framework. She stressed the need to shift from confrontational politics to service-oriented governance, particularly for the youth. “It’s not just the responsibility of the NCP, but of all political parties,” she added. Sharmin also noted that while many members of the Consensus Commission opposed the idea of a constituent assembly election, no other election could uphold the mandate of the mass uprising. “This is not a complicated issue,” she asserted.
