KATHMANDU: A meeting of a faction within the main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) is set to take place in Kathmandu.
Former Acting President Purna Bahadur Khadka has called his close associates to the capital for a two-day meeting scheduled for April 28 and 29. The meeting will be held at Smart Palace in Dhumbarahi.
According to a leader from the faction, district presidents considered close to Khadka have been invited. Similarly, defeated candidates in district president elections, district vice-presidents, and other office bearers aligned with the group have also been called.
In addition, members elected to the party’s Central Working Committee from the group during the 14th general convention have been invited.
Describing the meeting as a “strategic discussion,” Khadka said it will focus on future political direction and preparations for the upcoming general convention.
The group is reportedly dissatisfied with the current party leadership under Gagan Thapa, formed after the special general convention.
