Shiva Raj Adhikari has been appointed Dhading ad hoc district president of the Nepali Congress (Democratic) led by former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, an announcement said Monday.

Nepal’s oldest party is split between factions led by Deuba and another by former prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala. Both Congresses have opposed the October 4 dismissal of Deuba by King Gyanendra after assuming executive powers after a constitutional crisis following Deuba’s inability to hold the announced November 13 snap polls.
