Description
Nepals political landscape shifts as Balen Shah, a former engineer and rapper, emerges as the new prime minister, leading his Rastriya Swatantra Party to a landslide victory in the recent elections.

Young voters, comprising over forty percent of Nepals population, drove the change, fed up with corruption and economic struggles. Shahs party, established in 2022, secured a majority through a well-funded campaign and a focus on youth-led issues.
