why is congress splitting over conventions?
Nepali Congress is splitting over its conventions mainly due to ongoing legal disputes and leadership disagreements within the party. Different factions are preparing to hold separate conventions, which has led to a tug of war situation. The Supreme Court has rejected petitions to halt both conventions, allowing the split to continue. One faction plans to start ward conventions on October 3 at Kathmandu's Open Field, while a breakaway group insists on starting from October 15, rejecting the earlier date set by the main faction. This division reflects deeper conflicts over party leadership and organizational control.
