The Fourth National Congress of the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT) set an intentional course of creating new tiers of young leaders as the national center continues its fight to restore democracy in Nepal. Stepping down as secretary general was Bishnu Rimal, a founding member of GEFONT 15 years ago who now becomes vice chairperson for Policy and Planning. Former Treasurer Binod Shrestha became the new secretary general. Binda Pandey, ICEM vice president and past chief of GEFONT’s Education Department, is on the vanguard of the youth movement as she was elected one of three deputy secretary generals.
