Supreme Court's legitimacy to NC-G: Blessing in disguise for its reconsolidation

Key Points

• The Supreme Court declared the Special Convention held by Gagan Thapa-led Nepali Congress (NC-G) constitutional and legitimate.
• The verdict came after disputes over leadership between Gagan Thapa and Sher Bahadur Deuba groups within the Nepali Congress.
• The Supreme Court cited the constitutional nature of the Special Convention and the Election Commission's declaration of its legality in its decision.
• The NC faces challenges from its poor election performance and public discontent, but the verdict offers a chance for party reconsolidation and reform.
