KATHMANDU: The Sher Bahadur Deuba faction of the Nepali Congress (NC) has taken disciplinary action against Gagan Kumar Thapa, Bishwa Prakash Sharma and Farmullah Mansoor, expelling them from the party for five years.

A Central Committee meeting of the Deuba faction took the decision this afternoon, leveling various charges against Thapa, Sharma and Mansoor.

The Central Committee has expelled them from the party for five years, stripping them of even general membership of the party.

Thapa and Sharma are general secretaries of the Nepali Congress, while Mansoor is a co–general secretary. The two general secretaries had called a special general convention at Bhrikutimandap starting from January 11.

However, the special general convention of the party had already dissolved the Central Committee just yesterday (Tuesday).

The Nepali Congress had fixed its regular general convention for May 2026.

Although the regular convention had originally been called from January 12, the Central Working Committee postponed it and moved it to May 10. After a special convention was demanded with 54 percent signatures, and the NC leadership then postponed even the regular convention, internal conflict spiraled within the Nepali Congress.

Protests erupt at Bhrikutimandap
