KATHMANDU: Gagan Thapa, president of the Nepali Congress, has said the party will be unified and rebranded with the goal of emerging as the largest force in the 2027 local and provincial elections.
Speaking at a programme in Pokhara, Thapa said the party leadership would adopt a flexible approach to bring all factions together and strengthen the organisation.
He said that, as party chair, he would try to accommodate everyone to maintain unity. “I am in the responsibility of the chair. I will remain flexible and try to bring everyone together. We need to unite the party and conduct the convention,” he said.
Thapa expressed confidence that a united party would enable Nepali Congress to secure the top position in the upcoming local and provincial elections scheduled for 2027.
“We will work hard in 2026 so that we can make the party the largest again in the local and provincial elections of 2027,” he said, adding that he believes all members will support efforts to place the party in the right direction.
He also said the party does not need to feel weak or defensive because of past electoral results.
Thapa urged members to update their active membership from their respective wards and obtain a party ID by the end of May. Those who fail to update their membership within the deadline will not be eligible to participate in the party’s general convention.
He expressed hope that party members would support efforts to strengthen unity and successfully hold the convention.
