Deuba faction leaders decide to accept Supreme Court verdict and move ahead



KATHMANDU: Leaders from the Nepali Congress aligned with former party president Sher Bahadur Deuba have concluded that they will accept the Supreme Court’s verdict and move forward accordingly.

The decision was made during a meeting held at the residence of former acting party president Purna Bahadur Khadka, following the Supreme Court’s ruling that granted legitimacy to the leadership led by Gagan Thapa in a party officiality dispute.

Speaking to journalists after the meeting, leader Min Bahadur Bishwakarma said that although there were disagreements, the faction has decided to abide by the Supreme Court’s decision and move ahead.

He further stated that they now accept Gagan Thapa as the party president following the court’s verdict.

Bishwakarma also noted that since Purna Bahadur Khadka is no longer serving as acting party president, the responsibility of unifying and leading the party now rests with President Gagan Thapa.

He said the new leadership must focus on strengthening unity within the party, expanding its base, and creating an environment where all members can work together in favour of the Nepali Congress.
