KATHMANDU: A meeting of former office bearers of the Nepali Congress convened by former acting party president Purna Bahadur Khadka has concluded with an agreement to continue discussions on Sunday.
The meeting, held on Saturday at Khadka’s residence in Golfutar, is set to resume at a hotel in Dhumbarahi the following day. The next round of talks will include leaders elected from the party’s 14th general convention as well as central committee members.
The gathering comes after the Supreme Court reportedly issued a decision related to an internal party legitimacy dispute, granting legitimacy to the leadership aligned with Gagan Thapa, prompting Khadka to call for consultations among senior leaders.
Saturday’s meeting was attended by former vice president Bimalendra Nidhi, former general secretaries Dr. Shashank Koirala, Krishna Prasad Sitaula, and Dr. Prakashman Singh, among others. However, leaders from the faction led by Dr. Shekhar Koirala were absent.
