Summary
Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa is making a last-ditch effort to unite the party ahead of ward-level conventions under its 15th general convention. He has held talks with Purna Bahadur Khadka and Shekhar Koirala, while the Deuba faction continues to push its own separate convention plan.
Key Points
- Gagan Thapa is meeting senior leaders to resolve internal disputes before ward-level conventions begin on September 9.
- Thapa has already met former acting president Purna Bahadur Khadka and leader Shekhar Koirala, and is expected to speak with Sher Bahadur Deuba.
- The Supreme Court did not issue an interim order to stop the party’s 15th general convention schedule, which currently runs from October 2 to 5.
- Some leaders want the convention postponed because of monsoon-related floods and landslides.
