Gen-Z Uprising Threatens Nepal's Political Old Guard Days Before Election

With the March 5 election days away, Balen Shah’s RSP is poised to challenge Nepal's entrenched political establishment, the CPN-UML and NC, leveraging significant youth voter engagement. This 'Gen-Z Uprising' could fundamentally reshape the nation's political landscape, potentially disrupting traditional coalition dynamics. Analysts are closely watching how the surge in young voters, disillusioned with conventional politics, translates into actual power shifts. The election's outcome will be a crucial test of whether a new generation can break the decades-long dominance of the established parties. The math for forming a stable government post-election hinges on how many seats RSP can realistically secure, forcing the old guard to either adapt or risk being sidelined.

• Nepal's upcoming election represents a pivotal generational battle, with youth voters holding the key to a potential seismic shift in power.
