## Summary

The Nepali Congress party in Nepal has fallen short of meeting its one-third women's quota in the central committee. Although 69 women were elected, they secured reserved or inclusion-category seats, necessitating party president Gagan Thapa to nominate additional women to meet the 30-member requirement. The party is now working to address this shortfall, with the goal of achieving a more balanced representation within its leadership.
