"It is the victory of hope and change. It is the most beautiful endorsement of the gen Z movement. The true tribute to the gen Z martyrs will be expressed through the work carried out every day by the government led by Balendra Shah."
"Nepal's electoral system which combines a first past the post system with proportional representation has tended to result in weak coalition governments. But as counting reached its final stages, RSP had won at least 117 out of 185 direct seats and was leading in eight more, putting the party on course for the biggest electoral majority since Nepal became a democracy."
"The contest was considered one of the most significant and gripping in years, pitting the heavyweights who have dominated Nepal's politics for decades against a younger generation pledging to end corruption and bring about a fresh start for the country."
Balendra Shah, a 35-year-old rapper-turned-politician, led his Rastriya Swatantra party to a historic landslide victory in Nepal's recent elections, securing at least 117 of 185 direct seats and positioning himself to become prime minister. The party, formed only three years ago by a former TV executive, achieved the largest electoral majority since Nepal's transition to democracy. The victory represents a significant rejection of veteran political parties and their leaders, reflecting widespread public anger at the political establishment. Shah's dynamic campaign successfully mobilized young Nepali voters seeking corruption reform and systemic change. The election followed youth-led protests that resulted in casualties and toppled the previous government, with supporters viewing the RSP victory as validation of the gen Z movement's demands for renewal and accountability.
