Girija Prasad Koirala (1925 - 2010; popular as GP Koirala) is the President of Nepali Congress.
In mid-March 2010, he was been moved to his daughter, Deputy Prime Minister Sujata Koirala's residence in Mandhikhatar after he fell ill. Doctors looking said his condition is improving and he will be discharged from the hospital soon. A couple of days later, his health condition deteriorated again. His health condition worsened on the morning of Saturday, March 20, 2010 and he went into coma. As per TV reports, he died on March 20, 2010 at 12:11 Noon.

S. M. Krishna condoled the passing away Girija Prasad Koirala. A special Indian delegation was formed and left for Kathmandu to attend Koirala's funeral.
The Indian Government has denied permission to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to visit Nepal to attend the post-death rites of Koirala. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has termed Koirala as the champion of democracy in the Himalayan nation.
A conflict of seniority was been reportedly seen among the Nepali Congress (NC) leaders following the death of Koirala.
Koirala had been Prime Minister of Nepal four times, serving from 1991 to 1994, 1998 to 1999, 2000 to 2001, and from 2006 to 2008; he was also Acting Head of State from January 2007 to July 2008. He had been active in politics for over sixty years and is a pioneer of the Nepalese labour movement, having started a labor movement in the Jute mills of his hometown Biratnagar. In 1991 he became the first democratically elected Prime Minister since 1959, when his brother B. P. Koirala and the Nepali Congress party swept the country's first democratic election. In an interview with the privately owned Kantipur Television of Nepal, Mr Koirala admitted to printing fake Indian currencies to run political campaigns while being in exile in India around 1971.
