Opinion divided on BDP term limit

They hold the view that the motion will be met with stern opposition from party cadres. The ruling party youth wing recently (at a special congress in Kang) proposed that the office bearers referred to should only serve two-term limits not exceeding 10 years.

The BDP National Youth Executive Committee (NYEC) argues that if legislators and councillors hang around for more than a decade, the development could fuel political careerism. The term limit proposal is expected to be tabled at the party’s upcoming elective congress that is slated for July this year.
