Kathmandu – Gagan Kumar Thapa, the newly elected President of the Nepali Congress, has assumed office at the party headquarters in Sanepa.

Thapa, who was elected President during the 15th General Convention after defeating Shyam Krishna Khadki, secured 6,584 votes, while Khadki received 375 votes. Thapa had previously taken the oath of office and secrecy. The swearing-in ceremony for the office-bearers and members of the Central Committee will take place after the Dashain festival.
