Sher Bahadur Deuba Faces Significant Date Coincidence
Summary
October 18 marks a defining coincidence in Sher Bahadur Deuba’s political life, as Nepali Congress begins its 15th General Convention while he exits party leadership. The date also recalls his 2059 B.S. dismissal as prime minister by King Gyanendra Shah, a turning point in Nepal’s political history.
Key Points
- Nepali Congress is starting its 15th General Convention on October 18, delayed by two days because of heavy rainfall and road damage.
- Sher Bahadur Deuba is leaving party leadership, and the party constitution prevents him from becoming president again after serving two terms.
- October 18 also recalls Deuba’s dismissal as prime minister in 2059 B.S. by King Gyanendra Shah, who took executive power and dissolved parliament.
- The event became a major turning point in Nepal’s democratic struggle and later strengthened Deuba’s political standing.
