Supreme Court to Hear Writ Petition Seeking Postponement of Nepali Congress 15th General Convention

Kathmandu. A writ petition demanding the postponement of the Nepali Congress 15th General Convention schedule has been assigned to the bench of Acting Chief Justice Sapana Pradhan Malla and Justice Meghraj Pokharel. The petition was filed through a representative by Sher Bahadur Deuba, who was elected president during the 14th General Convention, and leader Purna Bahadur Khadka.

Deuba and Khadka filed the writ petition through their representative on Chait 25, requesting that the new schedule for the 15th General Convention not be implemented until the party's legitimacy dispute is resolved.

The petition, filed by representative Shrawan Kumar Shrestha, states that the Election Commission updated the new working committee selected through a special convention—led by General Secretaries Gagan Thapa and Bishwa Prakash Sharma despite President Deuba's disagreement—in violation of the party's statute.

The petition requests that the convention process be halted until the verdict on the pending writ filed in the Supreme Court regarding the party's legitimacy against the Commission's decision is reached.
