The first meeting of the Nepali Congress Central Working Committee held in Kathmandu after the Gagan Thapa led faction got official recognition from the Election Commission as the original Nepali Congress, Saturday decided to focus its attention towards fulfilling the wishes of the Nepalese people representing the aspirations of the Gen Z youths.
The Nepali Congress has decided to focus its attention towards the fulfillment of the wishes of the Nepalese people representing the aspirations of the Gen Z youths,” remarked NC spokesperson Dev Raj Chalise talking to media persons after the CWC meeting. The meeting also decided “not to forge any unnatural power centred electoral alliance with other parties,” he said.
The Election Commission on Friday gave official recognition to the faction led by Gagan Thapa as the real Nepali Congress and granted its election symbol tree and party flag with four stars amidst claims and counter claims by Thapa and Sher Bahadur Deuba factions.
Talking to media persons after the meeting, party spokesperson Chalise said the party’s CWC meeting has decided to call all rank and file of the party, voters and supporters at home and abroad to actively engage in election related activities with new energy by maintaining unity among all.
“The CWC meeting concluded that challenges, including upcoming elections, can only be addressed through internal unity, mutual goodwill and cooperation.”
He said that the party will now fully focus on election-oriented activities, with candidate selection to be carried out through the Parliamentary Board. Chalise also informed that as the party has obtained official recognition in line with the provisions in the statute, there is no need for differing views on the matter.
Meanwhile, Sher Bahadur Deuba led Nepali Congress has decided to move to the Supreme Court against the Election Commission’s decision to recognize the Thapa led faction. Talking to media after its CWC meeting spokesperson of the faction Prakash Mahat said, they have rejected the EC’s ruling and vowed to seek justice through the apex court. Terming the General Convention called by the Thapa faction as just a gathering of party cadres, the Deuba faction has decided to fight against the EC’s decision in legal and political fronts.
