Could Deuba’s displeasure slow the Congress poll march?

Thapa allies are concerned that those who opposed the convention could resort to non-cooperation during the polls.

Under newly elected party president Gagan Thapa, the Nepali Congress entered the election race with renewed energy and confidence. Several leaders close to former party president Sher Bahadur Deuba and senior leader Shekhar Koirala, who strongly opposed the special convention, are contesting the March 5 elections.
