Nepali Congress’s Deuba Faction Continues Protest On Road As Well As Court Claiming Party Legitimacy
Cadres and members of the Sher Bahadur Deuba faction of the Nepali Congress (NC) stage a demonstration in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 18, 2026, demanding the party's legitimacy. The Deuba faction also files a petition at the Supreme Court (SC) challenging the party's legitimacy. This move comes after the Election Commission, on January 16, recognizes the new working committee elected under Gagan Thapa's leadership at the party's special general convention. The Deuba faction, in a meeting held in Sanepa the following day, decides to seek legal redress through the Supreme Court while also planning a political protest against the commission's decision. Senior advocates Khamma Bahadur Khati, Sher Bahadur KC, and others provide legal counsel to the Deuba faction. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
