is nepali congress heading for split?
Currently, the Nepali Congress is facing significant internal disputes that suggest a possible split. The party is divided into factions, with the Deuba-led group insisting on holding the official 15th Congress convention despite parallel events organized by Gagan Thapa's faction. Dr. Shashank Koirala has called for dialogue to resolve these tensions and urged participation in the official convention starting October 15. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has rejected petitions to halt both factions' separate conventions, indicating the dispute remains unresolved. This situation points to a serious risk of division within the party if consensus is not reached soon.
