April 30, Kathmandu – Dr. Shekhar Koirala, leader of a faction within the Nepali Congress, is convening a meeting of his group. Koirala has called for a separate Bagmati Province-level gathering for his faction. The meeting will include outgoing central members, current central members elected through the special general convention to the central working committee, members of parliament and former MPs, district chairpersons, former district chairpersons, and regional chairpersons. According to Koirala’s secretariat, the meeting will begin at 8 a.m. at Opera Hotel in Baluwatar.
Earlier, on Wednesday, the outgoing acting chairperson Purna Bahadur Khadka also held discussions by convening a meeting of his own faction. Since the special general convention, unity has not been achieved within the Nepali Congress. One faction’s inability to accept the other has led to parallel activities within the party.
