Shashank Koirala says upcoming General Convention will unite Nepali Congress

KATHMANDU: Dr Shashank Koirala, coordinator of the Nepali Congress Deuba faction, has said the party’s upcoming General Convention will help bring the party together.

Speaking at the inauguration of the provincial and regional conventions of Kathmandu Constituency No. 4, organised by the faction on Saturday, Koirala said the General Convention scheduled for December would be crucial for the party.

He said the convention would strengthen unity within the Nepali Congress and help it move forward collectively in the next elections.

Koirala said the party remained strong and that even if all its opponents united, they would not be able to defeat or weaken it. He also said the Nepali Congress would neither misuse state power nor allow others to do so.
