Nepal’s Oldest Party- Nepali Congress At Verge Of Split As Deuba Faction Warns Of Parting Away Without Thapa’s Initiative For Unity

Leaders aligned with former Nepali Congress president Sher Bahadur Deuba arrive for a meeting in Kathmandu, Nepal, on April 19, 2026, as the nation's oldest party faces a potential split amid rising power struggles. The meeting concludes under the leadership of former vice president Purna Bahadur Khadka. Following the meeting, leader Min Bishwakarma states that the responsibility to preserve party unity now rests on Thapa and the current executive committee after the Supreme Court of Nepal recognizes Thapa's leadership in the party's legitimacy dispute. He adds that the faction has decided to accept the court verdict despite disagreements with several aspects of the ruling. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
