Nepal’s Political Scene Braces for Seismic Shift as Gen-Z Uprising Challenges Traditional Powerhouses

With just days until Nepal's national election on March 5, the political arena is witnessing an unprecedented challenge to the established order. Balen Shah's Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) has galvanized a significant 'Gen-Z' voter base, threatening the long-standing dominance of CPN-UML and Nepali Congress. Analysts are scrutinizing potential power shifts, as the youth vote could drastically redraw coalition mathematics. The election outcome is poised to determine the future trajectory of Nepali governance, with fresh faces advocating for systemic reform. The traditional parties face a formidable task in retaining their voter loyalty against this wave of digital-native activism and discontent.
