Context

Nepali Congress was founded in the mid-20th century and has been a key player in Nepal’s political landscape, including leading the movement to end the Rana autocracy and later the monarchy. The party traditionally supports parliamentary democracy, social democracy, and economic liberalization. It has produced several prime ministers and remains a principal opposition or ruling party depending on election outcomes. Despite internal factionalism and competition from other parties like the Communist Party of Nepal, Nepali Congress continues to be influential in shaping Nepal’s policies and governance.
