Internal strife persists within Nepali Congress as leadership deadlock continues
Summary
The Nepali Congress remains divided after a disputed special general convention led to a split between factions headed by Gagan Thapa and Sher Bahadur Deuba, with the Supreme Court yet to resolve the legitimacy dispute.
Key Points
- Nepali Congress is experiencing an internal leadership dispute between factions led by Gagan Thapa and Sher Bahadur Deuba.
- A special general convention was held despite opposition from key leaders, resulting in the election of a new working committee.
- The Election Commission recognized the special convention, but the Deuba-Koirala faction has petitioned the Supreme Court for official recognition, and the case is still sub-judice.
- Dialogue efforts for resolving the party dispute continue but with no consensus, and unity largely depends on the Supreme Court's ruling and leadership initiative.
