The majority members of the central committee of the Nepal Women’s Organization (NWO), the female wing of the Nepali Congress, Monday supported the rival party led by Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba following a split in the ruling party, an announcement said.

Fourteen out of 23 members of the central committee, including chairperson Uma Adhikari and general secretary Pushpa Bhusal supported the Deuba Congress.

The rival Koirala Congress immediately dissolved the central committee for supporting Deuba who has been expelled from the party, a statement said.

Earlier, a majority in the Nepal Tarun Dal leadership led by Bal Krishna Khand, a youth wing of the party, also supported Deuba. nepalnews.com br July 29
