NC’s Deuba faction to approach Supreme Court claiming party legitimacy



KATHMANDU: The Sher Bahadur Deuba faction of the Nepali Congress (NC) is set to approach the Supreme Court (SC) today to challenge the party’s legitimacy.

The move comes after the Election Commission last Friday recognized the new working committee elected under Gagan Thapa’s leadership at the party’s special general convention.

The Deuba faction, in a meeting held in Sanepa on Saturday, decided to seek legal redress through the Supreme Court while also planning a political protest against the commission’s decision.

Senior advocates Khamma Bahadur Khati, Sher Bahadur KC, and others are providing legal counsel to the Deuba faction.
