Supreme Court Orders Notice to Opposing Factions in Nepali Congress Legitimacy Dispute

The Supreme Court of Nepal has directed that notice be given to the opposing faction in the Nepali Congress legitimacy dispute, following a hearing led by Chief Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla and Justice Meghraj Pokharel. The case focuses on a conflict between Sher Bahadur Deuba's faction, resisting the opposing camp led by Gagan Thapa, which is preparing for a convention. The order signals judicial involvement in a major internal party struggle impacting the unity of the historically dominant Nepali Congress. This dispute threatens to destabilize party coherence just days before national elections, influencing broader political alliances. Long-term, this judicial intervention may set precedents affecting party governance and democratic processes in Nepal.
