Leadership Shake-up: Gagan Thapa's Resignation Rocks Nepali Congress

Gagan Thapa, the Nepali Congress President, resigned following his party's defeat in recent general elections. The NC secured only 38 seats against its target of 100. Thapa, who lost his seat, resigned to promote a regular convention and steer the party's future direction.

In a surprising turn of events, Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa has resigned following the party's disappointing performance in the recent general elections, according to local media reports.

The party aimed to win over 100 seats but managed only 38 in the 275-member Pratinidhi Sabha, casting a shadow on Thapa's leadership.

The resignation, submitted to Vice President Bishwa Prakash Sharma, awaits discussion in the forthcoming Central Working Committee meeting, highlighting internal party tensions and signaling a push for substantial change.
