A potential split looms within the Nepali Congress party, as Shashank Koirala has been appointed to lead a 521-member committee tasked with navigating the division. This move comes after former acting president Khadka reportedly hesitated to lead the party towards a formal breakup. The appointment was made by the Deuba faction, signaling a clear intention to forge ahead with a separate path. Koirala’s leadership is expected to accelerate the process of fragmentation within the historically significant political party. The decision highlights internal conflicts and power struggles currently plaguing the Nepali Congress. This development could significantly reshape the country’s political landscape. Further actions by Koirala and his committee will be closely watched as the party faces a critical juncture.
