This webinar examines the upcoming decisive elections in Bangladesh and Nepal in the aftermath of youth-led popular uprisings. It focuses on whether street-based people’s mobilization can be transformed into electoral legitimacy and whether post-election governments will respond to the expectations and demands of the youth. The discussion also explores political instability, democratic consolidation, and institutional challenges, along side the economic grievances that impacted to emerge popular unrest and considers whether newly elected governments will address these issues or allow them to persist. Finally, it discusses the up-coming elections outcomes and their broader regional implications for South Asia, including security and geopolitical alignment.
