Nepali Congress Families Play Key Roles Ahead of Nepal's March 5 Election

Nepal's upcoming general election on March 5 highlights influential political families within the Nepali Congress. The Singh family, led historically by Ganesh Man Singh, played a key role in Nepal's pro-democracy movements and parliamentary politics. Meanwhile, the Thapa KC family, including senior leader Arjun Narasingha KC and newly elected Nepali Congress President Gagan Thapa, remains prominent, with Gagan Thapa contesting a seat in Madhesh Province after shifting from Kathmandu. Both families have shaped Nepal's political landscape over decades.
