KATHMANDU: Amid growing internal tensions, Nepali Congress (NC) President Sher Bahadur Deuba on Tuesday said that efforts were being made to divide the party through a special general convention, but asserted that the party would remain united.
Speaking to party leaders and workers who met him this morning, Deuba said, “They have tried to divide the party, but the party will not split. I am confident of that.”
He added that he would take necessary decisions based on the outcome of the closed session of the special general convention faction. Leaders from the establishment faction met Deuba earlier today, during which he reiterated that the special general convention is not legitimate.
The special general convention is being held under the leadership of General Secretaries Gagan Thapa and Bishwaprakash Sharma. Closed-session programs are set to begin today. Organizers have claimed that a majority of representatives are participating in the convention.
