Kathmandu Jan 15-Three days after Home Minister Kamal Thapa's claim over the Rastriya Prajatanta Party, ousting party chairman Pashupati Shumsher Rana, the Election Commission (EC) Saturday asked both rival factions of the RPP to furnish evidence to substantiate their respective claims.
In letters sent to both factions, the EC said it has received Thapa's claim over the party, raising controversy over who is its genuine leader.
Rana supporters said they are preparing documents including the party statute and the list of signatories who demanded a general convention about eight months ago and later withdrew the demand.
The government faction led by Kamal Thapa is preparing the latest signatures of general convention members. According to a source at the Thapa faction, it has submitted the amendment to the statute effected by the recent "convention", which the Rana faction said was a crowd of fake members.
In response to a writ petition, the Patan Appellate Court has summoned the Election Commission (EC) regarding the claims made by the dissident group of the RPP on the party’s election symbol, among others
