why is congress facing another split?
Nepali Congress is facing another split primarily due to internal factionalism ahead of its 15th Congress convention. The main faction led by Deuba insists on holding the convention as scheduled, while a breakaway group led by Gagan Thapa is organizing parallel events, rejecting the official timeline. Despite efforts by the party leadership to include all factions, including 111 opposing members, in the central committee to maintain unity, tensions remain high. Leaders like Dr. Shashank emphasize the need for dialogue and consensus to prevent a formal split, but the disagreement over convention dates and participation highlights the ongoing challenges within the party.
