Ruling Nepali Congress (NC) has completed district convention in 69 districts as part of the party's 14th general convention.
The faction of NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba seems strong with convention yet to be completed in eight districts including Sindhupalchowk, Bara, Achham and others. The faction has won in 37 districts including the district won by the faction of Krishna Sitaula who supported Deuba in the general convention.
The faction of Shekhar Koirala, who lost to Deuba in the election for party president, has won in 32 districts including those won by Ram Chandra Paudel who remained neutral in the general convention.
The current Koirala faction was known as Paudel faction with Koirala in the same faction before the general convention but Koirala has become the leader of the faction after giving a close fight to Deuba in the runoff for president despite Paudel remaining neutral and Prakash Man Singh, also from the Paudel faction, deciding to support Deuba.
NC had held the general convention without holding district convention in 16 districts. District convention has now been completed in eight of those 16 districts.
The two factions shared the districts even after the general convention but Upendra Pokharel contesting as an independent candidate caused an upset in Sindhuli district defeating candidates fielded by the Deuba and Koirala factions.
