Nepal’s Election Commission Recognizes Gagan Thapa-led Nepali Congress As Official Party

Cadres of the Nepali Congress stage a demonstration outside the Election Commission in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 16, 2026. The Election Commission decides to grant official recognition to the Nepali Congress led by Gagan Thapa. A meeting of the Commission concludes that the faction headed by Thapa is the legitimate Nepali Congress. With this decision, the party's election symbol, the tree, and the four-star flag formally go to the Thapa-led faction. The decision effectively transfers the party's legacy to Thapa, who is elected party president through the second special general convention held from January 11 until January 15 morning. The convention, organized in Kathmandu, declares Thapa as the new party chief. The leaders and cadres from both the Gagan Thapa-led and Sher Bahadur Deuba-led factions appear before the Election Commission to present their respective claims and arguments. Following the decision, supporters of both factions gather outside the Commission's office. While Thapa's supporters celebrate the ruling, cadres aligned with Deuba stage protests and chant slogans, expressing dissatisfaction with the decision. The internal rift within the Nepali Congress deepens after a special general convention is organized without the consent of party president Sher Bahadur Deuba. The convention, held at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu, elects Gagan Thapa as party president. Following the convention, the Deuba faction accuses Thapa and his allies of organizing an ''illegal'' gathering and subsequently expels Thapa, along with leaders Bishwa Prakash Sharma and Farmullah Mansoor, from the party. Since then, the country's oldest democratic party remains effectively split into two rival factions.
