KATHMANDU, July 26: The Election Commission has granted legitimacy to the Upendra Yadav-led faction of Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP), ending the month-long intra-party row within the party.
The EC on Monday granted legitimacy to the Yadav-led faction of JSP and directed the Mahanta Thakur led-faction to register a new party.
