After a decade-long gap, Tarun Dal, the youth wing of Nepali Congress, is holding its fourth general convention in Pokhara from Saturday.

Despite disputes in several districts over convention representative selection, we are working to clear the hurdles, said Udaya Rana, the Tarun Dal chairman. Around 1,400 representatives will attend the two-day event which will be inaugurated by NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba.

From the establishment side, Jit Jung Basnet is said to be the front runner for chairmanship, while the NC’s Ram Chandra Poudel-led faction is fielding Karna Malla. A group led by Krishna Prasad Sitaula is likely to align with the establishment side, just as it did during two earlier sister organisations’ polls.
