Province 1 has former lawmaker Lila Bhandari as coordinator, 2 has Ram Chandra Jha, 3 has Ganga Shrestha, 4 has Bamdev Chhetri, while provinces 5 and 7 have Devendra Parajuli and Nava Raj Subedi as coordinators.
In some districts, Bhattarai himself is campaigning, while in some other districts province in-charges and central leaders are undertaking the task.
According to leaders, participants at the gathering are announcing their resignation from respective parties, aside from creating new force creation campaign district committees and setting up the campaign offices.
After resigning from the UCPN-Maoist, Maoist leader Devendra Poudel has visited districts like Jhapa, Morang and Sunsari as part of preparations for the creation of such a force.
After district gatherings, the Bhattarai camp will hold a national gathering on November 20. A leader told Online Khabar that each coordinator will have to send 10 representatives at the gathering.
