Nepal at a crossroads: Balen Shah’s youth surge challenges veteran PM KP Sharma Oli

A 35-year old former rapper, mayor of Kathmandu is taking on a veteran politician - a 4-time Prime Minister from his stronghold of Jhapa-5. Balen Shah has been popular with the younger generation. He was instrumental in galvanising the youth during last year's Gen Z protests in Nepal that brought down KP Sharma Oli's government. There was a push then to move him to the front of the line to take off the top job but he stayed out of it then. He's now challenging the political elite in a contest that could change the face of Nepal's politics and its government. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nepal is voting in its first general election since massive youth-led protests in late 2025 forced the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. The election is a pivotal confrontation between an entrenched political establishment and a surging youth movement driven by Gen Z's frustration with chronic corruption, a 20% youth unemployment rate, and persistent political instability. Three primary candidates are vying for the leadership: the ousted Marxist veteran Oli, the reform-minded Gagan Thapa of the traditional Nepali Congress, and the popular former rapper and Kathmandu mayor Balen Shah. As millions of voters head to the polls, the outcome will decide if the Himalayan nation continues its pattern of revolving-door leadership or embraces a new era of governance. =================================================================== Join StratNews Global's WhatsApp Channel to get the latest updates: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb1W...
